ANAHITA’S WOVEN RIDDLE: Megan Nuttall Sayres: Amulet Books: Young Adult: 352 pagesFifteen-year-old Anahita is a weaver in a nomadic tribe in 19th century Iran. When her father informs her that the khan plans to marry her, Anahita resists and devises a contest to find a husband. She weaves a riddle into her marriage rug and challenges her suitors to solve the puzzle, hoping to find a man with an intellect to match her own.
This was a great book, and I highly recommend it to teens and adults! You’ll want our copy of The Essential Rumi (891.55 JAL) close by while you read it, because the poet plays an important role in the story.
