Translation examples
Every window frame is like whitework embroidery— the stucco is so fine, so delicate, it is like sugar work by confectioners, not like anything real. We move into the harem as the easiest and most convenient rooms for my three sisters and me, and the harem servants light the braziers in the cool evenings and scatter the scented herbs as if we were the sultanas who lived secluded behind the screens for so long.
Jedes Fenster ähnelt einer filigranen Weißstickerei oder dem Meisterwerk eines Zuckerbäckers. Wir haben uns in den Haremsgemächern eingerichtet, weil sie für mich und meine drei Schwestern am bequemsten sind. An den kühlen Abenden zünden die Haremsdienerinnen die Kohlenpfannen an und streuen duftende Kräuter aus. Wir fühlen uns wie Sultansfrauen, die schon lange abgeschirmt in diesen Zimmern leben.
