And like you said, isn't the rich detail in Palace Walk (and its sequels) amazing! 153896@desicritics.org Mon, 2 Apr 2007 03:46:08 EDT http://desicritics.org/2007/04/01/084045.php#comment-153618 I'm reading Palace Walk now (along with three other books, sigh!) and just love the detail to the descriptions of the al-Sayyid home and family life. It's decadent in its richess of detail. What is Polish slow? Do the Poles have a reputation for slowness? 153618@desicritics.org Mon, 2 Apr 2007 02:25:32 EDT
