Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie

5.0

What an enchantingly wonderful book! Haroun and the Sea of Stories is, for all intents and purposes, a children's story with a happy ending, yet it is impossible not to notice Rushdie's profound sadness and personal struggles being percolated amongst the pages. It's a story that's brimming with imagination. It's a story that is poignantly allegorical. And for Rushdie's first novel since the fatwā ordering his execution was declared, this is a Story That Can't Be Missed.
