Note: This is a book about the founding of Carthage in Tunisia. I wrote it after living briefly in Tunisia. I am not an African author, just a person who was inspired by North Africa and took an interest in a topic that few have, as far as I can tell written about. With respect and best wishes for all, Laura Monagan (author)

Blues for the Unsung Queen is a bold reimagining of Queen Dido's story--one that finally gives voice to the woman behind the legend.
In this richly woven historical novel, the woman once known as Elishat, a princess of Tyre, reclaims her legacy as the brilliant, determined founder of Carthage, one of the great cities of the ancient world.
Fleeing tyranny and betrayal, Elishat leads a fleet of loyal followers on a sea voyage in search of a new homeland. Among them is Amaal, a modern twelve-year-old Tunisian girl suddenly thrust back in time. Struggling with her own sense of purpose and artistic ambition, Amaal finds herself swept up in the queen's powerful plan.
As they navigate treacherous waters, the princess learns what it really means to be queen, and the girl comes to understand that her role is not just to witness history, but to shape it.
