«De part de la princesa morta» is the historical novel by Kenizé Mourad published by Edicions 62 in paperback, with 704 pages, in Catalan.
The narrative follows Princess Selma from her flight from Turkey at the outbreak of the First World War, her journey through Lebanon and India with her husband, a Muslim rajah, and her arrival in Paris, where she gives birth during the Nazi occupation. Through that story, the author, who never knew her mother, reconstructs the gaps in her own life.
The work was originally published in French in 1987 under the title «De la part de la princesse morte»; this Catalan edition is from 2000 and belongs to the Butxaca collection (no. 51).
For readers of historical fiction and family-origin narratives with an autobiographical background.
