Ali is Muslim; Nino is Christian. She's Georgian, with a European attitude toward life; He's got an Asian attitude toward life. They love each other and somehow make it work despite war in their homeland, murder and relocation to Asia, where Nino is forced to live in Ali's harem. It's set during World War I, but in Azerbaijan.
The country's described as the place where East meets West; where Asia meets Europe â and therefore, the only place Ali and Nino can live where they are both happy.
I've recommended this book to so many people since I've read it. I loved the historical implications of World War I in a region that you hear so little about. I loved the culture and the attitudes and how Ali and Nino ended up together despite their families. I loved the overtones of religion and how that played into their lives.
