This is not an easy read for me (writing style spanning 100 years of letter writing/journal/1st & 2nd person narrative... arabic names that i can't pronounce let alone fully imagine the character despite wonderful descriptions...a country I know nothing about beyond the magnificent library of Alexandria and the pyramids and King Tut). It is pushing me out of my white canadian-irish comfort zone - I'm fascinated.
