The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar

4.0

I’m still processed this book. It was beautifully written and the story (or, rather, stories - it alternates between present day Nour and her struggles as a refugee and mythical Rawiya and her struggles traveling with famous map maker Al-Idrisi) were captivating and made me want to keep reading. I’m just not sure if some of the imagery was over my head or a bit forced. Either way, a fascinating, entertaining and worthwhile read.
