The Patient Stone: A Persian Love Story

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When a terrifying prophecy at the village well sends her deep into the heart of the desert, Fatima discovers a mysterious walled garden and a palace within. There, in one of the castle's rooms, lies the sleeping Javanmard, whose heart is pierced by forty pins. If Fatima can spend forty nights at his side, patiently removing the pins, then Javanmard will be hers. But if she should fail, and give in to the temptations of the palace, then she will be forced to know a deeper sense of loneliness than she has ever imagined.

Romantic and spellbinding, Margaret Olivia Wolfson's narrative draws us into Fatima's mystical world, while the ethereal beauty of the Prince's palace is portrayed in luxurious detail through the illustrations of Juan Caneba Clavero.
