Victory City by Salman Rushdie

[Penelope]

I really enjoyed Victory City. The mixture of mythology, fantasy and history from the viewpoint of a woman was perfect. I’ve never read Salman Rushdie before but I’m intrigued enough to check out his other works.

I had the audiobook though I’m not sure if it would have made a difference. There are a lot of names, of places and people, and it’s a little bit tricky to keep track. I found it best to let the names slide the first or second time I heard them, but pay closer attention once they became a recurring or important character or location. I really had very little trouble following the story and I definitely recommend it.
