Pearls on a Branch: Tales from the Arab World Told by Women by Najla Jraissaty Khoury
4.0
A collection of stories from the Arab world, this book collects what is a cross between a fairy tale and a fable written by women, and written incredibly well.
Each story starts with a short poem that reflects the story and gives you a taste of what you’re about to read, and what you read are stunning stories. So expressive but also pretty, they have a stunning quality to them that makes this book so easy to devour.
Certain stories stick with you, The House With No Worries for example sees the strength of women rewarded with happiness and that’s a recurrent theme within this collection of stories, there’s a hope to these stories that make them so charming and I like this book for it.
An incredible collection of stories,that if you like fairy tales, Pearls On A Branch is probably your next favourite read, these stories are wonderfully written and perfectly told, Pearls On A Branch is a treat.
