Credits David Thomas
Summary "Wisdom's Daughter: The Life and Love Story of She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed" by H. Rider Haggard is a novel written in the early 20th century. This tale unfolds the life and passions of Ayesha, known as She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed, whose complex history intertwines with ancient gods, love, and the pursuit of power. The narrative explores themes of vanity, destiny, and the eternal struggle between flesh and spirit. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Ayesha, who reflects on her past as the priestess of Isis and her relationships with Kallikrates, the Greek warrior, and Holly, a learned man who helps her recount her life story. As Ayesha seeks to express her identity and fulfill her destiny, she contemplates her choices and the painful consequences of her actions, including her yearning for Kallikrates and the curse of immortality that befalls her. The opening sets a rich backdrop of mystical elements intertwined with a quest for wisdom, setting the stage for Ayesha's tumultuous journey through love, loss, and the rewriting of ancient fables.
