A review by bookishuniverse
The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie

2.0

Apparently there was some uproar about this not being nominated for a Booker. Um, why? It was nothing special and if anything, unoriginal and too long. Basically the story is about a woman who is super beautiful and can enchant men, and also she knows magic so she can stay young. And all these guys fight wars over her. And then some son, or cousin, or nephew of hers or something tells her story in an attempt to get in on the royal bank. Oh, and two of the "characters" in the story are Amerigo Vespucci and Niccolo Machiavelli. B. F. D.
