A review by sophseif
The Enchantress of Florence by Salman Rushdie

4.0

This book is Rushdie magical realism on two stages: Medici Florence and the Mughal empire. This mix makes for something that is almost a fantasy novel, except that the historical stuff is so well researched (the book has a bibliography) and the magical stuff is so nonchalantly supernatural, that fantasy seems to undercut what this is really about. Anyway, it was a lot of fun. Love Rushdie.
