I’ll try and write a review for this masterpiece of a book in some time. But before that, a couple of memorable quotes.
* * *
‘There is no particular wisdom in the East,’ [Qara Köz / Angelica] said to Argalia. ‘All human beings are foolish to the same degree.’
The curse of the human race is not that we are so different from one another, but that we are so alike.
Niccolò Vespucci, or Mogor dell’Amore, to Akbar, Emperor of Hindustan
(From The Enchantress of Florence, by Salman Rushdie)

I am getting curious about the novel! Beautiful quotes.

Just stumbling upon Rushdie. If a tongue could at once be crafted of diamond AND smoothly sinuous, it would belong to SD. Cannot wait to engage further his writing.
