About this title: The Stone Woman is the third novel of Tariq Ali's "Islam Quartet." Like its predecessors - Shadows of the Pomegranate Tree and The Book of Saladin - its power lies both in the story-telling and the challenge it poses to stereotyped images of life under Islam.

"Listen to the stories told to "the Stone Woman" and explore the lives of the Iskender Pasha family and their friends.This is the 3rd in the series by Tariq Ali. He is a great storyteller."
"I thought this book was the second book of Tariq Ali's quintet. I was wrong, The second book should be "Book of Saladin", the book keeper gave me a wrong information, huhuhu.
The Stone Woman tells about the habit of all women in a family (including the female maids) that always tell their problem to a statue named "Stone Woman". From that habit, many secrets revealed.
I thought this book tells much about the fall of Ottoman Empire, but the fact, it much tells about love story. I think the first book is much better than this one."
