Fiction Reviews

Queen Vashti’s Dream is an inspiring and uplifting historical fiction that brings to life the strength, dignity, and courage of a remarkable woman. Through Vashti’s eyes, we see her stand firm against humiliation, choosing honour over subservience an act that has made her a timeless symbol of women’s resilience. The story also beautifully evokes the deep spirit of Kurdish heritage, linking Vashti to the long tradition of courageous Kurdish women who have fought to protect themselves, their people, and their homeland a legacy of steadfast courage that resonates with the bravery our girls continue to show today in the face of immense challenges.
