One Thousand and One Nights: A Retelling by Hanan Al-Shaykh

4.0

I went in with fairly limited knowledge of the stories - just North American pop culture references, really.

Some stories are more enjoyable than others, but I enjoyed that they were all woven together and interconnected. 

I feel like it does a good job of keeping the themes and dynamics across stories in a way that still feels like they are all being told by the same person and that person is on a mission. 

I really appreciate this work being made accessible to folks like me who weren't raised with it.
