After all the hype over this book (would it or would it not be published), I was anxious to read it to see what all the fuss was about. That said, this is not going to become a classic of the 21st Century. It's historical fiction/romance - and accepting that it's a fair read.
I read for pleasure and enjoyed this book. I tend towards historical fiction because I like learning about different times and places - and while historical fiction may not always be accurate, it usually serves as a stepping stone for me to delve into history books about a person, place or era.
I liked getting a peek at the infancy of Islam and learning who A'isha was. Both she and the era were new to me. I'm most definitely interested in learning more about her. If Sherry Jones achieved anything with her novel, she's driven me to a new section of the library.
