A review by dcliz
The Moor's Account by Laila Lalami

3.0

An interesting concept, but I didn't enjoy this novel, especially the first third. I found the narrator's backstory bogged down the plot, and the parts about the conquistadors' encounters with Florida's Native Americans were really difficult to read (and not because this was new or shocking information to me).

Ultimately, the book is about a storyteller, and that storyteller isn't very good at his chosen vocation!
