But he is only one character in a cast that includes ladies and generals, princes and deserters, all brilliantly and sympathetically realized. At once stirring and harrowing, exotic and cautionary, and as vividly colored as a Persian miniature, the result is a tour de force of re-creation and invention. 701489 book 2002 The Mulberry Empire: A Novel total:36|5:1|4:2|3:2|2:1|1:0| 36 131 84 14 715237 1400030897 9781400030897 26 12 3.64 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177591120m/715237.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/715237.The_Mulberry_Empire_A_Novel 0 0 false Tue Oct 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 00:08:38 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 01:42:35 -0700 2009
