The Jewel of Medina


رمانی درباره زندگی عایشه

Muhammad novel publisher undeterred by firebomb attack


The Jewel of Medina is a first person narrative from the perspective of Aisha, one of Muhammad's wives. It steers clear of graphic details about the sexual relations of Aisha and Muhammad, but does touch on their love life.

"This was the beginning of something new, something terrible. Soon I would be lying on my bed beneath him, squashed like a scarab beetle, flailing and sobbing while he slammed himself against me. He would not want to hurt me, but how could he help it? It's always painful the first time."
