Also, Hastings speaks with Tamam Kahn, author of Untold — A History of the Wives of Prophet Muhammad. Untold demystifies the most influential women present at the dawn of Islam and introduces us to Muhammad’s wives, among them a successful merchant, the leader of an army, two Jewish war captives, and a Coptic Christian diplomat. “Swimming amid ‘the names of God,’ Tamam Kahn has written a brilliant and illuminating book, equally awesome in the depth of its research, the grace of its prose, and the beauty of its poetic voices Untold should be read with joy by any reader who hopes to transcend current stereotypes about Islam. It is a bridge between worlds.” — Alicia Ostriker
