Rukhsana Khan
The Clever Wife: A Kyrgyz Folktale
2023 NYC Big Book Award Winner
The Clever Wife is a beautifully retold folktale from Kyrgyzstan, central Asia. The story follows Danyshman, a spirited young woman whose wit and courage win her the heart of the ruling Khan Bolotbek. But when intrigue, betrayal, and exile threaten their relationship, Danyshman must use all of her cleverness to save herself and her husband.
Superbly illustrated by Ayesha Gamiet, a master in the art of Islamic manuscript illumination, this classic "thinking outside the box" story will inspire.
