Description
The Queen with Empty Hands by Mahdi Mirkiayi is the 15th installment in the acclaimed Sargezashte Esti’mar (Colonial Chronicles) series. This historical fiction novel delves into the poignant story of a young African queen who, after surviving the horrors of the Atlantic slave trade, finds herself in a foreign land, stripped of her identity and dignity. Mirkiayi masterfully intertwines themes of resilience, identity, and the human spirit's capacity to endure. Through vivid storytelling, readers are transported to a time when empires clashed, and individuals' lives were upended by forces beyond their control. The novel not only sheds light on the personal struggles of its protagonist but also offers a broader commentary on the impacts of colonialism and the quest for freedom. Ideal for young adults and history enthusiasts alike, this book provides both an engaging narrative and a thoughtful exploration of a dark chapter in history.
