    A magical historical novel about an astonishing eight-year-old girl in the last days of the Ottoman Empire. It is 1877 on the shores of the Black Sea and the omens for the newborn Eleanora Cohen are hardly promising. Not only does her mother die in childbirth but her village is being attacked by the Tsar's Royal Cavalry. However despite this bad beginning a sour stepmother and a traumatic journey in the hold of a ship young Eleanora grows into a remarkably clever but very engaging child. And when a heartbreaking tragedy leaves her marooned in Istanbul where spies and boarded-up harems and sudden death are as much a part of life as delicious spices Paris fashions and rosewater it is Eleanora's extraordinary courage and character which lead her straight to the Sultan's court and to her salvation.
