Helpful Score: 1

This is a wonderful book that I highly recommend to fans of historical fiction. It is the story of the Prophet Muhammad second wife, his child bride A'isha. Through her eyes, we experience the struggle of being the young wife of Prophet Muhammad, growing up in the harim. We also get a taste of the birth of Islam and the politics of the day.

The writing is wonderful and quite descriptive without being overbearing. It sucked me into A'isha's world, a world so different from today's world. I only wished I could have known more about what happened to A'isha in her later years. Would she continue to be the same strong woman, ready to battle for the people and religion she loved?
