I would never have imagined hat I could lie...
that I cold betray someone I loved...
that I would nearly kill
the person who loved me most.
A village girl's dreams of marriage end on the death of her
father. Cast on the mercy of relatives in fabled Isfahan, she
and her mother are reduced to servitude until she reveals a
talent for designing carpets - an invaluable skill in
seventeenth-century Iran. Hope is short-lived, fora disastrous,
headstrong act resules in the girl's disgrace. Caught between
forces she can barely comprehend, she faces a life lived at the
whim of others -unless she is prepared to risk everything
and choose a future based on her own strength and will.
THE BLOOD OF FLOWERS tells an unforgettable story: a
tale of sensuality, of the treachery of friendship, of the
power of love, and of the fragile possibility of
finding happiness against all odds.
