Well I must say it is well written and you really intrigue the reader to ask for more. Without doubt the reader will read this book in one go to the end. This is because it captures reality and emotions about humans are touched very subtly and intelligently. The book is very sensual and graphical, you can imagine the scenes through picture and literally makes you share the feelingContent is good and it is well understood how jasmine and adam engage in each other having not met someone to answer their sexual needs, jasmine after the divorse and adam after Clara left, he was finding an attractive woman to fit his choice and someone whom he could actually love.But I feel the titles ‘Beirut April 1983’ and Dinner party. These chapters where Clara abandons and goes and meeting Jasmin in the party, somewhere down its not in the flow. Well enough to keep the reader hooked, but climax is taken off I feel.The ground practical issues of the conservativeness of muslim women and loving the enemy is nicely shown. It shows that even a conservative woman holds desire as we are all humans end of the day. Well I found the dream by Adam where the painter too comes in and swinging sex a bit extraordinary. Perhaps it not being their would have been better, it gets too carnal.The ending could have been a bit stronger, didn’t really get the feel , this would leave the reader imagining about the book longer.I must say I enjoyed it and read it in a go, very sensual to really get the feeling.
