Book Reviews of The Kadin

Book Review: The Kadin. Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars

This book showed that people can adapt to anything. And do it gracefully. True it would have been different if she had gone into her situation (living in a harem) purposely. But she didn't. What she did was take a situation that could have turned really bad really fast and made it more than tolerable. She made it a joy. Cyra has style. And Selim is depicted as a man more than a Sultan which is marvelous. I've read this book several times over and I'd reccommend it to anyone. Cyra personifies a woman in complete control of her life. Even when things seem to be crashing down around her. The only draw back is of course that her son didn't grow up to be the ma wwe'd hoped and that The so many of the sons of Selim died. Accurate of the way history was perhaps. But a let down that someone as resourceful as Cyra and the other wives couldn't find a better way.

Summary of The Kadin

Abducted from a life of privilege, she was sold into slavery in a distant land. For Lady Janet Leslie there would be no escaping the harem of the wealthy and powerful Sultan Selim. But from the moment the handsome ruler spied his breathtaking "Cyra," was captivated -- by the fiery desire that coursed through his veins. She belonged to him, body and soul -yet it was he who was enslaved.

Praised for her keen sense of history and remarkable storytelling powers, the bestselling author of The Spitfire displays the passionate magic that has made her a national favorite -sweeping the reader into the romantic past, from the magnificence of Renaissance Europe to the perfumed splendor of a Sultan's court.
