kelliecart 's review for:
The Map of Salt and Stars
by Zeyn Joukhadar
A timely and timeless story, young girls as adventurers, who accept the help of men, but don’t rely on it. The author’s beautiful use of language paints a world of wonder and conflict, describing the Muslim world as one of curiosity and beauty - such a welcome change. The Syria of today is connected to the land of the past in a way that we in the US cannot fully understand. The magical realism is quite at home here in the 9th century as well as in both girls lives.
