5.0 out of 5 stars A new perspective on the life of Mohammed, Mar 19 2009
By L. Ramsey - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I had no idea what Mohammed was about or any of his history and, even though, Ms. Jones may give me one that may not be complementary, it is a start. The story is told from the perspective of Mohammeds third wife, Aisha, the warrior bride. We learn of Aishas aspirations as a child, her betrothal to Mohammed at the age of nine and her subsequent imprisonment to the confines of her parents home only to be replaced by the confines of the harem upon her marriage to the Prophet at the age of 12. Ms. Jones details her life until the age of 19 and the great mans death. Mohammed marries no fewer than 10 additional wives after Aaisha. Her energies are monopolized by the politics of the harem and the competition for Mohammeds affections. Except for the food and nursing she provides the tent people, she has no existence separate from her husband. Its an eye-opener. Until Mohammed, Moslem men were restricted to four wives. After meeting his fifth wife, he has a revelation and, low and behold, the restriction is lifted. Likewise, when he has trouble with Aisha and the others leaving the confines of their harem. He has a revelation that his wives must be separated by the walls of a tent. After much complaining, his edict is changed so that his wives need only be separated from the rest of the population by the barrier of cloth provided by the hajib. Mohammed was a warrior and a politician and we are given insights into these battles and intrigues through the eyes of Aisha. Its a great read. I look forward to Ms. Jones next book for the history of the split of Islam into two sect, the Sunni and Shiite.
