In the Palace of Flowers
あらすじ・解説
Set in Iran at the end of the 19th century in the Persian royal court of the Qajars, In the Palace of Flowers is an atmospheric historical novel about Jamila, an Abyssinian slave who stands at the funeral of a Persian nobleman, watching the rites with empty eyes. In that very moment, she realizes that her life will never be acknowledged or mourned with the same significance. The fear of being forgotten, of being irrelevant, sets her and Abimelech, a fellow Abyssinian slave and a eunuch, on a path to find meaning, navigating the dangerous and deadly politics of the royal court, both in the government and the harem, before leading her to the radicals that lie beyond its walls.
Love, friendship, and the bitter politics within the harem, the court, and the Shah's sons and advisors will set the fate of these two slaves. Highly accomplished, richly textured, and elegantly written, In the Palace of Flowers is a magnificent novel about the fear of being forgotten.
