The all-knowing djinn of ancient lore can adopt many forms, but there are times when it chooses the limits of one body, one life. In this bewitching first novel, a djinn takes up residence in a restlessly brilliant woman, guiding her choices in life and love as she chases the satisfaction that eludes her—from a cloistered Florentine boarding school to the glamour of a Milan fashion house to a life beyond her means in 1990s Manhattan. She is as skilled at observing the worlds she moves through as her djinn is skilled at observing her, but an ever-growing self-awareness does not help her to realize her heart’s desires. That is, until the wise djinn puts her in the path of the Princess: imperious octogenarian and mother of a man she can never fully possess. WithDiary of a Djinn, Alhadeff has given us a novel of playful intelligence and insight, and a poignant testimony to love’s unpredictable unfolding. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This was NOT my favorite book. I found it very hard to read and understand what was going on. It was less of a story and more character musings, not a problem in itself, but this one didn't grab me. The final 20 or so pages were the best -- I think a whole book could have been written on the relationship between the main character and Princess and that it could have been flushed out more directly.
