As they enter a posh restaurant in Washington, D.C., heads turn and the atmosphere is charged with an intoxicating energy. Exotically beautiful Adile Astarise, celebrated artist and mistress of the powerful Turkish magnate known only as Hadrian, has arrived to dine with her favorite companion--her beloved cat, Georgie Porgie.
Adile is an extraordinary woman; hypnotically sensual and a charming eccentric, she languorously moves through a lushly magical world of her own creation. Indulged in every luxury and surrounded by a glittering circle of admirers, she is the undisputed queen of her small realm. Yet there is another side to the glamorous socialite: Adile is also a deeply spiritual woman, steadfast in her Moslem faith. And when a vision comes to her-that she will give birth to a son-she embraces that destiny without question.
To fulfill the promise of her mystical dream, she takes a lover, Justin. And when her son Tashi is born, she rejoices. But her new life as a mother holds many unanticipated changes-and the gritty reality of caring for an infant is only the beginning. For Adile is most unprepared for the dark power that Justin now wields over her. Caught in a devastating web of passion and deceit, the trappings of her fairytale life evaporate.
As she finds herself careening down a sordid path into a nightmarish existence, Adile desperately struggles for an avenue of escape and the means for survival.
Seductively sensuous and starkly provocative, Linda Lundy Nabhan's hauntingly lyrical prose weaves a mesmerizing spell over the reader in this stunning tale of one woman's search for redemption.
