Overview: In a masterly act of literary transformation, celebrated novelist Hanan al-Shaykh re-creates the dramatic life and times of her mother, Kamila.

Excellent, though slightly flawed. It held my rapt attention, even when certain twists were telegraphed. A solid 4 stars from me.

I was completely blown away. The prose is exquisite. It’s accessible yet undeniably sophisticated. A true literary gem.

A decent, if standard, experience. The prose was competent, yet the characters lacked the depth I usually seek. Perfectly average.

A decent, if standard, experience. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Suitable if your reading queue is empty.
