Anahita's Woven Riddle

352 pp. | Abrams/Amulet | November, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-8109-5481-8 $16.95
(4) 4-6 In 1880s Iran, with her family's nomadic culture threatened by calls for a European-style parliament, sixteen-year-old Anahita gains permission to weave a riddle into her wedding carpet and marry only the man who solves it. Anahita's feminism is anachronistic, but her choice from among equally sympathetic suitors--a kind schoolteacher, a childhood friend, and a dashing prince--keep readers in suspense about the conclusion. Glos.
