The Jewel of Medina
''The Jewel of Medina'' is a historical novel by Sherry Jones. It was scheduled for publication by Random House in 2008, but subsequently cancelled; it was subsequently announced that it would be published by Beaufort Books in the United States and by Gibson Square in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth.〔 〕 Eventually it was published in the U.S. by Beaufort Books. The novel tells a fictionalized version of the life of Aisha, one of the wives of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, and the person who reportedly accompanied him as he received most of his revelations.〔Goodwin, Jan. ''Price of Honour: Muslim Women Lift the Veil of Silence on the Islamic World''. London: Little, Brown Book Group, 1994〕 The novel tells Aisha's story from the age of six, when she was betrothed to Muhammad, to his death.〔
==Cancelled publication==
In 2007, Random House bought the publication rights to ''The Jewel of Medina'' in a $100,000, two-book contract. The novel was scheduled to be published on August 12, 2008. The Book of the Month Club had agreed to feature the novel in its August 2008 issue, and Quality Paperback Book Club was due to follow suit in January 2009.〔 The novel's original marketing blurb read, "Married at nine to the much-older Muhammad, Aisha uses her wits, her courage, and her sword to defend her first-wife status even as Muhammad marries again and again, taking 12 wives and concubines in all."
