"Equal of the Sun is a page turner, with plenty of gripping
moments. Here's hoping Amirrezvani will write many more tales
illuminating the incredible history of the Iranians.."
--WashingtonPost
"A dazzling historical novel of ancient Persia, a fairy tale of
universal resonance, EQUAL OF THE SUN is a story of love and
ambition, loyalty and intrigue, the eternal anguish of a heart--and
a country--at war with itself. --Gina Nahai, author of Moonlight on
the Avenue of Faith and Caspian Rain
"Amirrezvani's sixteenth century Iran is a world as complex as
Shakespeare's London, that seethes with intrigue, passion, and
lawlessness, a world where a brilliant young princess, who longs
for power denied her as a female, and a servant, with a desire so
relentless he half-destroys himself, make a desperate pact to
control the government and fate of the country, and in doing so
discover their greatest loves and sorrows. In this astonishing
novel Amirrezvani reminds us what all human hearts suffer and dare.
EQUAL OF THE SUN is an irresistible novel." --Jonis Agee, author of
The River Wife
"Expertly woven." --Kirkus
