A review by viktoriya
The Map of Love by Ahdaf Soueif

3.0

I was disappointed by this book.
Reading it wasn't easy at all. I was constantly confused by the names, description of political situation felt like a dry textbook. I came to care a lot for Anna and for Amal and I really wanted to hear their stories. This is the only reason I stuck with the book. In end, I felt I was cheated because their story wasn't really told all the way. I really wanted to hear what happened to Amal, how she came to be living alone, and there was nothing. I wanted to hear more about Anna and Nur, and again nothing. Big let down.
