Moving the Palace by Charif Majdalani

2.0

This wasn't really for me - it's a shaggy dog story about a Lebanese trader swanning around the deserts of the Middle East in and around WW1 trying to transport an entire castle piece by piece to Lebanon. It's a creative and vivid recreation of a period and place I knew nothing about, but I just couldn't stay engaged with it.

(This was on audio book, which may have coloured my experience)
