A review by mubeenirfan
The Rock of Tanios by Amin Maalouf
4.0
This is my fourth novel written by Amin Maalouf and I am not counting a non-fiction crusade history book that he has penned. So need to mention here that I really like his writing.
Here too he has crafted a master story from a seemingly unimportant event plucked from his own family tree. Political climate of the Lebanon/Syria belt in mid 19th century is the setting where different world powers are eyeing for influence. Tanios is one ordinary boy who is caught up in all this upheaval or maybe he is the reason for it all.
Sad part about ending it, I have now run out of his novels to read.
