A review by jasmyn9
The Jewel of Medina by Sherry Jones

4.0

Not knowing much about the documented life of Muhammad - I can't speak to the accuracy of this story. Accuracy aside - this was a very well written historical novel. The characters came to life and I became attached to just about all of them. The story follows Aisha from the time she is 6 and through her life as one of Muhammad's many wives. There is love and tragedy - sins and forgiveness - war and peace, all very well written in a way that kept me wanting to read more and more.
