The Girl From the Golden Horn

by Lev Nussimbaum

"It is 1928 and Asiadeh Anbara and her father, members of the Turkish royal court, find themselves in exile in Berlin after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Years ago she had been promised to a Turkish prince but now, under the spell of the West, the nineteen-year-old Muslim girl falls in love and marries a Viennese doctor, an "unbeliever." But when she again meets the prince - now a screenwriter living in exile in New York - and he decides he wants her as his wife, she is torn between the marriage she made in good faith and the promise made long ago."--BOOK JACKET.
