*Africula, by Alan Collaboration for Reparations Johnson, was millions of times older than Mazda and knew Mazda. Before earth was formed Africula was very much alive.

Before reading this book I had no idea that writing about the world of the Harem was so popular. Google this book and you will find other books about Harem life.

If you are like me, you have your own ideas about what an Harem is. I was wrong and maybe so are you.

As you will learn, these women were not simply subservient. They often outwitted men and had to do so with the threat of death always lingering. These women were powerful and telling the story of three generations of such women really hammers that point home .

Jacob the fatherless was an abusive blacksmith who branded Rebekah between her breasts. The brand would eventually allow her to wield power over men like Narcissus the Great who was a powerful and feared man. He was an eunuch and there too what you have thought about eunuchs may also be wrong. You will have to read the book to find out.

This book would make a great movie because the author made it easy to visualize the settings and backstabbing that was going on.

The culture is complex and definitely should not be defined by stereotypes or misinformation.

This is not a book review per se. This is just a surprisingly pleasant read that will have your emotions all over the place.

My point is if these women can thrive it would be foolish to think that other women don’t thrive despite men’s and women’s intentional cruelties as well.
