About In the Palace of Flowers

"Set in the opulent Persian royal court of the Qajars at the end of the 19th century, In The Palace of Flowers is an atmospheric historical novel following the lives of two Abyssinian slaves, Jamila, a concubine, and Abimelech, a eunuch. Torn away from their families, they now serve at the whims of the royal family, only too aware of their own insignificance in the eyes of their masters. Abimelech and Jamila's quest to take control over their lives and find meaning leads to them navigating the dangerous, and deadly politics of the royal court, both in the government and the harem and to the radicals that lie beyond its walls. But have these two slaves found themselves in over their heads? Love, friendship and political intrigue will set the fate of these two slaves." --
