I read the KADIN years ago and several times since and found it to be intriguing in an accurately historical way that showed an unconventional view of romance in a time when women were sold as concubines. It didn't have the IN YOUR FACE sex scenes of the novels of today, but rather dwelled on a young abducted Scottish woman who managed to adapt to not only a country, climates and customs not her own, but to rise to the coveted position within a closed and ruthless seraglio where at any moment her life could be lost at the whim of other jealous or scheming wives. This book, in my opinion offered accuracy to a time and customs that is not readily palatable to most westerners, but showed the tenacity of will of woman who had no alternative but to survive. The fact that she fell in love with Salim, her captor and sovereign, gave the romantic elements needed to propel this novel into its intended genre. I also believe that a movie called THE FAVORITE starring F. Murray Abraham and Model Maud Adams is loosely based on this novel. While a lot of what happens in this book would not be tolerated by editors today, I still count it among my favorites. |
