Narreeman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Narreeman is a fictional Afghan character in Flashman, a historical novel by George MacDonald Fraser.

She first appears in the novel as a dancer. Shortly after Flashman meets her, he rapes her, although it appears that this is the only time in his life that he commits rape.

Some months later, Flashman is captured along with a sergeant. It appears that she has now married Gul Shah, an Afghan leader. Narreeman nearly castrates him, the traditional treatment of prisoners they dislike by Afghan women, but he manages to escape.

In Flashman at the Charge, when he later makes a short visit to Afghanistan, it is hinted that he goes out of his way to avoid meeting her, although she is not mentioned by name.

Although it is unlikely, nothing in the published works about Flashman excludes the possibility that she did catch up with him eventually.
