Book Giveaway For Equal of the Sun

[close] Narrated by a eunuch whose allegiance to Iran is second only to his loyalty to the powerful princess he serves. Princess
Pari, who knows more about the inner workings of the court than almost anyone, is in possession of an incredible
tapestry of secrets and information and when her father, the Shah, dies suddenly leaving a vacuum of power, the
princess takes over the royal court until her brother can come to the capital and be crowned as the next shah. The
intricate dance of negotiations that follows reveals a power struggle of epic proportions.

Based loosely on the life of Princess Pari Khan Khanoom, Equal of the Sun is a story of political intrigue and
Machiavellian manipulation by those who lust for power and will do anything to attain it; it is also the unforgettable
tale of an unlikely friendship between a princess and a eunuch that explores the complicated relationship between
masculinity, femininity and power. Amirrezvani is a master storyteller and in her hands this rich and labyrinthine world
comes to vivid life. [close]
