About "The Bird King"

"From the author of "Alif the Unseen" comes a stunning novel filled with folktale, fantasy, and history. A young woman finds power and faith in order to accomplish the seemingly impossible. Fatima, a concubine in the court of Granada must brave the unknown to save her friend Hassan from the Spanish Inquisition. This is a story filled with cultures meeting – sometimes mixing, sometimes clashing – and the complications of love.  For fans of Naomi Novik, S. A. Chakraborty and Helene Wecker."

  2. I’m reading a book by a geneticist Adam Rutherford “A Brief History of Everyone Who Has Ever Lived.”
    It is a book which ties a lot of my scattered knowledge about prehistoric humans into a more focused perspective.

  4. Jill Lepore’s These Truths. and The Keeper of Lost Causes. Loved Alif the Unseen, look forward to reading this new book.
