In 1540, twelve-year-old Jahan arrives in Istanbul. As an animal tamer in the sultan's menagerie, he looks after the exceptionally smart elephant Chota and befriends (and falls for) the sultan's beautiful daughter, Princess Mihrimah. A palace education leads Jahan to Mimar Sinan, the empire's chief architect, who takes Jahan under his wing as they construct (with Chota's help) some of the most magnificent buildings in history. Yet even as they build Sinan's triumphant masterpieces-the incredible Suleymaniye and Selimiye mosques-dangerous undercurrents begin to emerge, with jealousy erupting among Sinan's four apprentices. A memorable story of artistic freedom, creativity, and the clash between science and fundamentalism, Shafak's intricate novel brims with vibrant characters, intriguing adventure, and the lavish backdrop of the Ottoman court, where love and loyalty are no match for raw power"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Shafak Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Shafak Checked out 05/28/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Shafak Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction SHAFAK Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Shafak Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Fiction Shafak Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Fiction Shafak Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Shafak Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
