About This Book
A humorous romantic tale set in an exotic court follows a peaceable pasha whose attempts at family policy are thwarted by his eloquent, imperious wife. Domestic disputes over their son’s upbringing draw in a witty sage-turned-vizier whose counsel reshapes household power, while courtly intrigue, fortune-telling, and comic misunderstandings generate a sequence of adventures and social satire that gently lampoons vanity, marital diplomacy, and the performative rituals of court life.
