It is a lovely book. I do not know how much it introduces us to the fantastic world of islamic palaces and way of thinking. At first, I was somewhat bored by the descriptions, but they soon were substituted by the felling of warmth and comfort, the climate of love among the main characters. The dedication of the Emir Hamid for his beloved Falco is dreamy. So is the recognition of this love by Falco. An impossible love, probably seen as some women must see love. As the story develops, however, the behavior of characters is so much predictable that one should say we are in a dream in which we command the next steps. Should it be real? Anyway, it is a fairly readble book, full of hopes, and some disillusionments, that attracts our attention to the world of the "believers".
