3.5 stars Misfit What history and Wiki tells us: Aimée du Buc de Rivéry was the daughter of wealthy plantation owners on the island of Martinique, and cousin to Josephine Bonaparte (well, she wasn't Bonaparte back then). Aimée was sent to convent school in France, but things were get a bit hot in France and she was shipped back home - but the ship was supposedly attacked by Barbary Pirates. Was she sold off to the Ottoman em. P. Pope said Breathtaking!. Absolutely wonderful! Prince Michael takes you into the breathtakingly beautiful, and absolutely terrifying world of slavery and living ones life in a Harem. I was completely captivated from first page to last as he told Aimee's story. I laughed, and cried as the story sweeps you through her life in the Harem, and her ability to persevere against enemies, loss, terror and her ultimate rise to power. I would highly reccomend this. "Excellant!" according to M. H. Moneymaker. This book was well-written and well researched. The author knows the world of the Harem and different steps to become the power behind the throne (The Valide Sultan). He begins with Aimee's life in Martinique and her school days in France. Then there is the trip home, when she is shipwrecked and captured. Then taken as a gift to the Sultan. Her training, being given a new name (Nakshidil) all ring true. Wonderful book!
