A review by jnowal
The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie

3.0

I really wanted to like this. The setting, themes, and particularly the quality of the writing all appealed to me, but it still fell flat, and I'm not sure exactly why. Three-quarters of the way through I felt like I was still waiting for a reason to be interested in the plot, and almost gave it up then. It was worth finishing, but just barely.
