I might even characterize this story as a fable, for it carries that particular brand of enchantment about it. If you were expecting a linear narrative that reads like a movie novelization, then you a) have not read Salman Rushdie before and b) will not get that. The boundaries between these two stories-the latter of which takes place in the first one's past-are flimsy, permeable. In this novel, Rushdie runs two stories parallel to each other: that of Emperor Akbar's court, the emperor's life and philosophy and the story of a man's heritage, of a lost Mughal princess who travels from Asia to Florence to the New World, then beyond. And his characters are larger-than-life, capricious archetypes that embody the virtues and flaws of humanity. In his stories, the flow of time is always questionable, and subject to change-if it flows at all. Rushdie possesses an uncanny ability to manipulate perspective. As a neophyte of Salman Rushdie's work, I was not fully prepared for The Enchantress of Florence, although I should have been. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mountain Born is also the subject to an in-depth novel study, Reading 4, BJ BookLinks: Mountain Born from BJU Press and has a sequel, A Place for Peter.Īn Accelerated Reader ® quiz is available at AR quizzes provide diagnostic information for the conventional classroom teacher.įree Study Guide and Activities (PDF, 19mb)Īvailable in ePub format from christianbook.

Given that those bond yields inverted in November of last year, the recession should be arriving in May. The analysts say that historically, a recession kicks off six months after the inversion of the 2-10 year curve.
