Wisdom's Daughter: The Life and Love Story of She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed
(The third book in the Ayesha series)(1923)
A novel by
H Rider Haggard
1923. What was the greatest fault of Ayesha, She-Who-Must-be-Obeyed? Surely a vanity so colossal that, to take one out of many examples, it persuaded her that her mother died after looking upon her, fearing lest, should she live, she might give birth to another child who was less fair. At least, as her story shows, it was vanity, rather than love of the beauteous Greek, Kallikrates, that stained the hands of She with his innocent blood and, amongst other ills, brought upon her the fearful curse of deathlessness while still inhabiting a sphere where Death is lord of all. Thus it seemed that by denial she would have escaped the net of many woes in which she is still entangled and of Ayesha, Daughter of Wisdom yet Folly's Salve, there would have been no tale to tell and there would have been no lesson to be learned. But Vanity - or was it Fate? - led her down another road.
