The Book of Fate by Parinoush Saniee

2.0

I wanted to like this book - but I found that (1) I didn't like the protagonist's voice. (2) Perhaps it was the translation but it just felt "wrong" - I can't explain it more than, it sounded like a Western character ... but she wasn't. (3) I found her to be very self-pitying and the last 50 pages just upset me. Characters I had liked I began to absolutely dislike. A book that should have had me completely immersed in a culture, ideology and historical events that have changed the world ... and instead I just kept reading it because I had started it.
