The Virgin's Knot
2 journalers for this copy...
I'm not sure how I made it all the way through this book. Stubbornness I suppose. It was poorly written, I hated the style of not wrapping conversations in quotes and letting the reader know who the heck is talking. I found it annoying. The plot doesn't get going until the middle of the book and I found the background uninspiring. It's basically about a young lady in Turkey in the 1950's who contracted polio as a girl but who weaves turkish rugs of almost magical qualities. He father has told her that one a virgin can knot rugs of that quality, that when Allah takes something away, he always gives something in return. It's actually a great premise, but so unfulfilling....
