Giveaway: Equal of the Sun by Anita Amirrezvani

A few month ago I read and reviewed Equal of the Sun by Anita Amirrezvani in anticipation to the release of paperback (March 19), the publisher is giving away one copy to two lucky winners.

Most of the book focuses on how the cul­tural con­ven­tions per­tain to the women in the court. The story is told through the eyes of Java­her, a eunuch (by choice!) who is work­ing for Princess Pari. Some of the graphic aspects of the story made me, as a man, feel very uncom­fort­able includ­ing a graphic descrip­tion of the cas­tra­tion pro­ce­dure which gives me shiv­ers to this day.
