Princess Masuma lived during the time when Afghanistan was ruled by Kings. In this real-life Cinderella story, as relayed by her granddaughter Dr. Sherzai, Masuma is transformed from a simple Hazara orphan to a princess when she marries the son of Prince Regent Nasrullah Khan. Her fairytale life is filled with both tragedy and triumph as political intrigue, rivalry, assassinations, and arrests directly affect her life and fortune and that of her family. Through Princess Masuma's epic tale, the reader learns of the complicated and dynamic history and culture of Afghanistan from the 19th century to the end of the Mohammadzai Dynasty in 1978.
