khuizenga 's review for:

The Map of Salt and Stars by Zeyn Joukhadar
4.0

This was beautifully written. The descriptions in this book are out of this world. I just loved Nour, and I also really enjoyed the way that Nour's synesthesia was worked into the narration. I also really enjoyed the parallels between the story of Rawiya and how Nour was experiencing her own life. I didn't always feel compelled to come back and read it (too stressed maybe) but this story is evocative and heartfelt.
