It is 1866 and Zanzibar is momentarily quiet after a rebellion against the Sultan. Sayyida Salme waits in the harem hoping to be forgiven for her part in the uprising against her brother. When she hears merchant Heinrich Ruete singing from across the narrow Stone Town street, Salme lifts her veil to possibility.

Set against the backdrop of the slave trade and the impossible wealth of the Sultans of Zanzibar, Salme's story of forbidden love unfolds dramatically and takes her further into exile. The Sultan's Daughter follows real life events. It is a story of great tenderness, and of great loss.

Industry Reviews

"Curious, courageous and rebellious, Sayyida Salme 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." - Debra Adelaide

"Casts an ironic eye on Western fascination with the East ... in a fascinating and highly readable fiction." - Elizabeth Webby
