The Knot in the Rug encapsulates the massive upheavals of the first half of the twentieth century from a point of view that the English-speaking readership rarely glimpses. A gripping read that also sheds light on traditional Persian customs of birth, marriage and death still followed in modern-day Iran The book's heroine, Khanoum, is in the courts of Persia's Qajar dynasty. The twists and turns in Khanoum's life make for a gripping read, whilst at the same time shedding light on traditional Persian customs of birth, marriage and death, still followed in modern-day Iran. Forced to flee Persia during the Constitutional Revolution of 1906, Khanoum is brought up by her uncle and his immediate family. Her teenage years are marked by her struggles: family tragedy, her horrendous journey through Persia, and her uncertain future. Once in Russia her aunt, a woman of great strength and wisdom, manages to bring some sense of order to their exiled gathering by creating a home akin to what they were accustomed to. However, some years later, the Bolshevik revolution brings another upheaval and they flee once more; this time to Istanbul. In the fairy-tale palaces of the Ottoman Empire Khanoum marries a member of the Ottoman Court. But the newlyweds hardly have time to make plans for their future when they face yet more turmoil; learning of the downfall of the ruling family, they hurriedly escape to France. In Paris with her husband, Khanoum at last finds a resting place, but it does not take long before her eventful and tragic destiny once again beckons and she finds herself alone and destitute. The story contains a rich and compelling record of how these historic events affected the lives of a group of people from different parts of the world. It presents an overview of the fabric of the Iranian society with an emphasis on the last century's privileged class.

So much to know! Merlin pondered. Wisdom is the key to the shaman’s journey; healing the goal. Meaning, purpose, love, and relationship to earth and God—at some time in life, everyone is exposed to these. Shamans, however, must plumb their depths and ascend their heights as these are urgent and essential to the journey, like cardinal points on the compass. So much danger! he realized. He had only these few nights to mentor them on how to protect themselves. At best, he had only a short time before they would return to their twenty-first century and preserve history as we know it. At worst, he had only a few nights before she found them. She who wanted to kill them to see that they never learned at all. “The Merlin Dialogues, by Dr. Ed Lewis, brings to life the journey of five kids from the 21st century back to sometime in the 6th century. Traveling well off the road that led to Tintagel Castle ‘Deep in the woods…there was no relief from the knowledge that they were being hunted like prey.’ Sitting around a campfire after dark, Merlin announces, ‘The time has come to gift you with your shaman names.’ Shaman names represent ‘…who you now are, who you are to become in the future, and also identify your animal helpers.’ Seamless transitions between story teller and dialogue, weave a magical and mystical allegory, as cousins learn in the 6th century about themselves, each other, and more importantly: about life, love, being, and Being – as well as about Mother Earth and the perils of ever worsening climate damage.” -Steve White CEO, multi-client communications business Rockport, Maine “Merlin [is] both enchanted and enchanting, a consciousness sorely wanted by our present culture. Merlin teaches the [kids] to come to trust their own intuitions so that their guide is inside, the place where Merlin lives. I’m sure that [young readers] will get the spirit of this through journeying through your story. At the end of the day, we are meant to make our own personal take on life, something that is therefore unique and all the more valuable for that.” —Gareth Davies retired Church of Scotland minister, shamanic practitioner, and art therapist Edinburgh, Scotland
