Holly Payne bursts onto the literary scene
with this astonishing first novel about a
celebrated Turkish weaver who must choose
between spiritual and carnal love, between
devotion to her god and submission to the
primitive laws that govern her land.
She is called Nurdane, the famed weaver of
Mavisu. From her remote mountain village in
southwestern Turkey, she creates dowries for
young brides: dazzling rugs that are marvels
of shape and color, texture and light. Her
unique rugs possess remarkable healing qualities
that have inspired local legend, but it is
her hands that are at the heart of her mystery.
An artists hands. A virgin's hands.
