Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wednesday Wife
But when there are many slaves, spoke Zulaykha, it is, perchance, not so hard. Aletra said nothing; her eyes were fixed upon invis ible distance as if she were listening intently. There were voices - faint, then coming nearer - men's voices singing in the night. The words they sang were old when the sires of their grandsires sang them in the narrow streets hundreds of years before, or in the light of the caravan fires when crossing the desert.
