One Thousand and One Nights by Hanan Al-Shaykh

3.0

3 1/2 stars.

I'm not sure why, but I expected the writing to be more vibrant. The locations, the stories, and the characters were full of life, but the writing was lacking. I think this would have been a four star review if that had been different because I really did enjoy the stories chosen. Especially those near the middle where the events are connected. I would happily read those again.
