Description
"A richly woven carpet of a book." Katherine Mezzacappa
Set against the magnificent backdrop of Imperial Istanbul during the twilight years of the Ottoman Empire, The Gilded Cage on the Bosphorus is a mesmerising tale of love, duty and family.
Istanbul, 1903.
Ever since his younger brother usurped the Imperial throne, Sultan Murad V and his family have languished in enforced confinement for nearly thirty years.
As the new century dawns, anarchy and revolution threaten the established order; powerful enemies plot the fall of the once mighty Ottoman Empire; and only death can free the enlightened former sultan. But the waters of the Bosphorus run deep: assassins lurk in shadows, intrigue abounds, and scandal in the family threatens to destroy all that Murad loves… Can the birth of a newborn prince breathe hope into an uncertain future?
For over six centuries the history of the Turks and their vast and powerful Empire has been intertwined with the Ottoman dynasty. Can this remarkable family, and the Empire they built, survive the tempest of change as the world enters a new era?
Elegantly evocative and irresistibly captivating,The Gilded Cage on the Bosphorus is perfect for fans of Allison Pataki, Fiona Valpy, and Ken Follett.
