The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie

This was my introduction to Rushdie (read this a few years ago). I'd been meaning to read him for a very long time. Unfortunately, this was nothing like I expected it to be. It was charming, lavish and I loved the mystery but it just didn't engage me enough to keep reading. It was like seeing a beautiful person, thinking how amazing they must be, and then you meet them and realize, oh, they're ordinary. A let down.
