Gabriel Vine | 2 comments I have never heard of this title by famous Indian author Salman Rushdie, nor is there any information about it on any websites, nor is it sold by any online retailers. I think this book does not actually exist. Can anyone confirm?

Unless someone can come up with a reason not to, I think merging it onto Enchantress of Florence is probably a good idea.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Some people have shelved it -- you could message them and ask if they meant to add that particular book. It could be a limited-release short story.

Gabriel Vine | 2 comments Agreed. However, I would opine that it is an excellent title and I would certainly read such a book if Mr. Rushdie would oblige in actually writing it.

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments OK, I'll do that now.

lafon حمزة نوفل (lafon) | 3544 comments Any further opinion? I messaged a few people, but got no response...

Lobstergirl 14 google search results, 13 are from Goodreads, one from a blogger who says she has just started reading it ("Rushdie's latest" - she blogged that in 2009, the Florence title was published in 2008). Maybe a Goodreads shelver read her blog and added the mistaken entry.
