My mom gave it to me to see if I thought it would be a good bookclub choice and I gave it two thumbs up! :)
It's set in ancient Iran, in the late 1500's. A young girl 15, and her mother go to live in a large city after the girl's father passes away. The girl is a rug maker, and the uncle with whom they go to live is a master rug maker for the Shah. His horrible wife is constantly picking at them and treating them like servants. She even talks the mother into selling the girl's virginity.
Poverty - Riches -Colors - Textures
Are woven in this novel as beautifully as a rug.
