The best of books transport you into a different place and time, and this one has me thinking of pomegranates, dates and chickpeas, of royal purple tunics and fine woven linen, of camels and donkeys and Magi, and prophesies… If you are looking for a good read, I recommend it.
When I have grown weary of this world and its problems as I am today, it helps me to create something. I did this little sketch after finishing the last chapter. Perhaps it will end up in an art quilt someday.

This sounds like a wonderful book . I, too, like books that take me away from the present from time to time. Don't you just love an audio book for that reason because you can visualize in your own creative way the images of the time and place of the setting. You've reminded me of something I haven't done in awhile. I am going to click on your link to this book. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethis sounds wonderful and I've been wanting some Persian motifs in my life lately!
