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.
