A review by twistinthetale
The Map of Love by Ahdaf Soueif

4.0

I listened to the author discuss this book and at one point Ahdaf called this book a romance. It is, indeed, a romance of grand proportions and yet this is a novel that offers so much more. The internal struggles in Egypt, as the country tries to regain independence and strive for democracy within an unstable region, become an enduring setting for the characters over the span of several generations. Great characters, amazing history.
