On a voyage from Portsmouth, England to Gibraltar, the ship Indiaman is attacked and captured by Moorish pirates. The Lady Emily Barlow is kidnapped, taken to Algiers and sold into the Harem of the Dey, the Turkish sultan then ruling much of North Africa. The astonishing story of the Lady’s initiation into Harem life and how she comes to be a willing participant in its amatory adventures, is told by the Lady herself in a series of vividly depicted episodes.’ (from rear wrap)
