More About Arabesques
Confusing, but after finishing, it's alright. I'd recommend reading every other chapter and then going back to read the unread A little confusing with the multiple characters, but it's beautifully written and lyrical in its descriptions of locations around the world. The language is vivid and the flavor of the original (I read it in Hebrew first, and unique brand from the Arab-Israeli author) is like no other book. The translation misses the linguistic flavor, but none of the beauty of village life and the quirky characters and events Shammas so poetically describes.
