"Her Majesty the King: A Romance of the Harem" by James Jeffrey Roche is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work appears to explore themes of love, governance, and societal expectations within a Middle Eastern palace setting, primarily focusing on the characters of Pasha Muley Mustapha and his wife, Kayenna. As the story unfolds, we observe their tumultuous relationship and the ensuing comedic and dramatic events resulting from their attempts to adjust to their roles and responsibilities. At the start of the narrative, we meet Pasha Muley Mustapha, a man finding himself at odds with his wife, Kayenna, over the upbringing of their child. He expresses his desire to allow their son the freedom to experience life outside the confines of the harem, while Kayenna vehemently opposes this idea, deciding instead to tightly control their child’s environment. This clash ignites a series of misunderstandings and accidental deceptions, particularly surrounding the birth of their child, whom the outside world believes to be a boy, when in fact the truth is far more complicated. The opening sets the stage for a humorous yet critical examination of love, authority, and the absurdities within family and court politics, promising a mix of wit and narrative intrigue as the tale progresses.
