Rushdie, Salman : The Enchantress of Florence
- description
- additional information
In the court of the Mughal emperor Akbar, the sunshine is said to blur the border "between what was fanciful and what was real". But when a fair-haired Florentine turns up claiming to be the son of a long-lost Mughal princess, the response is still sceptical. The Florentine attempts to convince the court through storytelling: his tales bring the missing princess to life, but whether he can persuade the world that she was his mother is another matter. As the princess's story unfolds, Rushdie weaves a second strand into the novel - the visitor's youth in the Florence of Lorenzo de Medici. A less playful writer would get bogged down in this rich mix of history, fable and fantasy, but it is effervescent and bewitching in Rushdie's hands.
