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.
