Salman Rushdie is one of those authors I've always heard of but never really got around to reading. I remember buying this on a whim around two years ago. I think the only reason I bought this back then was that I saw 'Akbar the Great', 'Niccolò Machiavelli' and 'Florence' in the synopsis at the back of the book. Why I didn't read this until now, I have no idea. Anyway, it's been some time since I read a book that had me stopping at the end of almost every chapter. Not because the writing was boring or crap (on the contrary, I find Rushdie's style of writing really gorgeous) but because I felt like my breath was slowly slipping away from me and I needed to comprehend what just happened at the end of every chapter. I also loved how Rushdie used history to create an alternate world where he pretty much blurred actual history from his own creation. While reading The Enchantress of Florence, I thought I was in a long, long lucid dream (but I'm not actually participating in the dream) that spanned generations, continents and kingdoms. I don't think it's as mind-blowing as it could probably be but I thought the book was wonderful and indulgent. I would've rated this 5 stars but the ending was too rushed and it made me feel like I've been abruptly woken up from a dream. (P.S. After reading the book, I was lying down in my bed for about half an hour thinking about everything that has happened and what could have happened after the ending.)

Borrowing from Amazon: Amazon.com In honor of the United Nations-sponsored International Year of the Family in 1994, award-winning photojournalist Peter Menzel brought together 16 of the world's leading photographers to create a visual portrait of life in 30 nations. Material World tackles its wide subject by zooming in, allowing one household to represent an entire nation. Photographers spent one week living with a "statistically average" family in each country, learning about their work, their attitudes toward their possessions, and their hopes for the future. Then a "big picture" shot of the family was taken outside the dwelling, surrounded by all their (many or few) material goods. The book provides sidebars offering statistics and a brief history for each country, as well as personal notes from the photographers about their experiences. But it is the "big pictures" that tell most of the story. In one, a British family pauses before a meal of tea and crumpets under a cloudy sky. In another, wary Bosnians sit beside mattresses used as sniper barricades. A Malian family composed of a husband, his two wives, and their children rests before a few cooking and washing implements in golden afternoon light. Material World is a lesson in economics and geography, reminding us of the world's inequities, but also of humanity's common threads. An engrossing, enlightening book. --Maria Dolan
