Scheherazade's Madness: Eleven Nights

About this book

Two years and nine months into her marriage, Scheherazade escapes Shahryar's palace. Her store of stories is empty, and she can no longer endure a life lived beneath a sword that may fall at any moment. Her flight closes the first thousand nights celebrated by history and tradition, but it also opens another cycle. Manal Abdel Hamid reimagines the legendary storyteller's fate through eleven new nights of danger and invention.
