Description
The Moonlit Cage is the spellbinding story of Darya, a young Afghan girl, cursed, worthless and despised by her husband and her family, who embarks on the journey of a lifetime - one that takes her from the unforgiving valleys and mountains of her homeland to 1850s London, the heart of the mighty British Empire.
Enthralling, unusual and richly textured, The Moonlit Cage is a thrillingly realistic evocation of a lost world. It is a novel you will never forget.

Reviews
'A suspenseful, entertaining novel. The portrait Holeman paints of Afghanistan and tribal life at the time of the British Raj is brilliant. Her complex characters are likeable and easily capture the reader's interest. She has created a heroine of immense inner strength and self-knowledge unique for a Muslim girl of her background' * Historical Novels Review *
