This was an interesting look into a harem.. it followed 3 generations of women a mother, her daughter and granddaughter.... it wasn't as good as I thought it would be but it was definetly a worthy read.

Dora Levy Mossanen has a similar fantastic style as Isabel Allende (not quite as good as Allende). An unusual novel and a good story.

This was a fun read. A sexy and mystical historical novel set in ancient I ran (Persia).

I've managed to get through half of this book and still can't figure out what it is supposed to be about, other than the page after page of porn-like sexual escapades. Maybe I'm just not in the mood, but there is no redeeming qualities for this one. I usually like historical fiction, but, oh well, hopefully someone else wants this.
