smunir 's review for:

River Spirit by Leila Aboulela
4.0

A very interesting read! It is a story of love, loss, war, and religious fanaticism. I loved that it focused on Sudanese women, highlighting their lives, experiences, and perspectives in late 19th century Sudan. Although, it took me some time to really get into the book but the story came together artfully. I enjoyed and would recommend this book to historical fiction readers!
