<p>The story of Lawrence of Arabia pales before Gertrude of Arabia. A marvelous story of an adventurous woman abandoning Victorian England and journeying deep into the Arab heart of the Middle East, at a time when women did not go unchaperoned, to report on "every grain of snad". Filled with intrigue, history and drama in a part of the world that is still on the front page. A must-read for any history buff, this book reads like fiction but it's all true.</p>

At the age of thirteen, while travelling home from school in France, Aimee du Buc is kidnapped by Algerian pirates. The graceful young girl is a valuable commodity, and is soon placed in service in the Seraglio (sir-al-ee-o) -- the Ottoman sultan's private world -- in Topkapi Palace. As du Buc discovers the secrets that win the hearts of kings and learns the affairs of the empire, she struggles to retain her former identity, including her Christian faith.
