Beschreibung:
Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Ann Chamberlin also spent big blocks of time as a child in Europe where her father was visiting professor of mathematics, including two years as a teenager in Germany. Ann is the author of twenty books, mostly historical novels, many set in the Middle East, including a trilogy set in sixteenth-century Turkey. This trilogy, in translation, spent almost a year on the Turkish bestseller list. Her most recent publication is a memoir, CLOGS AND SHAWLS, about her grandmother's girlhood in Yorkshire, England. She has also written many plays, including JIHAD, which won the best off-off Broadway new play of 1996 and which received a production in Bogota, Colombia at a conference for theatre women for peace.
Sofia caused a sensation in Turkey where it spent over six months on the bestsellers list. Real historical figures come to life in the exotic sixteenth-century Ottoman world of intrigue and opulence Turks call The Reign of the Favored Women: An ambitious young noblewoman from Venice captured by corsairs and sold into the Sultan's harem vows her future will hold more than sexual slavery. And the young man who sets out to rescue her is asked a price higher than a man can be expected to pay.
