THE SULTAN’SWIFE, by Jane Johnson
A bewitching novel set in 17th c., THE SULTAN’SWIFE is an engulfing ride to exotic Morocco, into the palace of the horrific Sultan
Moulay Ismail and his ‘witch’ wife, Zidana.
From Morocco to England, the novel revolves around NusNus, the Sultan’s African
eunuch scribe and Alys Swan a virgin Dutch beauty kidnapped for the Sultan.
Life is but a breath short of death around the cruel Ismail
who decides the fate of all those around him depending on the degree of his
wrath. Zidana, on her side offers no
respite- her poisonous concoctions a reminder that no one is safe from her
tyrannical plans. Most important on her
list of things to do is to rid Ismail’s harem of all unwanted heirs (and there
were quite a few- history quotes roughly a thousand!), that should surpass her
own offspring.
Every day is a challenge to stay alive for NusNus who works
for these two evil masters. He must also find a way to make life endurable for
Alys whom he secretly loves- she in turn trusts only him. The story becomes that much more enticing
when Alys gives birth to Ismail’s son, Mohammed. Of course, this is a major hurdle for Zidana.
But, the story then takes us to England in the court of Charles II where a
twist in development will forever change the fate of all…
Intricately woven, this novel is graphically filled with
suspense and intrigue- cleverly meshed in a blend of history, culture, religion
and so much more. From beginning to end,
The Sultan’s Wife is a passionately engaging book that will keep readers
frantically flipping the pages longing for more. This is my first time reading Jane Johnson’s
work- and it certainly won’t be my last! Loved it.
