The Sultan’s Daughter
Jane Downing
Set against the backdrop of the slave trade and the impossible wealth of the Sultans of Zanzibar, The Sultan’s Daughter follows the dramatic real life events of Sayyida Salmé’s forbidden love. It is a story of great tenderness, and of great loss.
“Curious, courageous and rebellious, Sayyida Salmé of Zanzibar is vividly imagined in this compelling novel. This is a nuanced portrayal of a woman who chooses love but is pulled in every direction by different cultures, countries, languages and religions.”
“Casts an ironic eye on Western fascination with the East ... in a fascinating and highly readable fiction.”
