The Favorite of the Harem is a novel written by Anna Leonowens. The book is set in the royal court of Siam (now Thailand) in the 19th century and tells the story of a young woman named Tuptim who becomes a favorite of the king's harem. Tuptim is a beautiful and intelligent woman who captures the attention of the king, but she also faces challenges and dangers as she navigates the complex politics and power struggles of the harem. Along the way, she develops relationships with other women in the harem, including the king's other wives and concubines. The book provides a fascinating look into the culture and customs of Siam during this time period, as well as the lives of women in the royal court. The Favorite of the Harem is a captivating and engaging novel that will transport readers to a different time and place.I listened in mute pain. The power of the new passion that now filled my heart seemed to deny all authority, and the very thing for which I had so long worked and longed had become valueless and as nothing to me. But I dared not excuse myself, so I silently followed my conductresses, and for the first time in my life ascended to his Majesty's private supper-chamber.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
