The Salt Road | Jane Johnson
6 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
From the author of The Tenth Gift comes another story of exotic, foreign lands, entwining storylines spanning generations, and the quests to overcome love lost. "My dear Isabelle, in the attic you will find a box with your name on it." Isabelle's estranged archeologist father dies, leaving her a puzzle. In a box she finds some papers and a mysterious African amulet but their connection to her remains unclear until she embarks on a trip to Morocco to discover how the amulet came into her father's possession. When the amulet is damaged and Isabelle almost killed in an accident, she fears her curiosity has got the better of her. But Taib, her rescuer, knows the dunes and their peoples, and offers to help uncover the amulet's extraordinary history, involving Tin Hinan She of the Tents who made a legendary crossing of the desert, and her beautiful descendant Mariata. Across years and over hot, shifting sands, tracking the Salt Road, the stories of Isabelle and Taib, Mariata and her lover, become entangled with that of the lost amulet. It is a tale of souls wounded by history and of love blossoming on barren ground. From the Hardcover edition.

Oh how I wanted to love this with so many things I love in a book… strong female characters, vibrant rich settings and an element of historical fiction that thought me something new. I loved the desert scenes and the richness with which they and the Nomadic Tuereg people but then there was also an epically annoying lead character in Izzy, some elements of unexplained mysticism and a ton of incredible leaps of chance. 📸 Moroccan sunset last night

Well y‘all. I did finally finish it & will be sending it off this weekend. I do have the next one ready to dive right into & will try not to take so long. I probably liked it best out of all of us so far but would still give it just ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫. I like the setup and timelines of the story & how it all came together at the end but found Izzy very unlikable, certain parts unnecessary, and the whole story a bit dragged out. #lmpbc #round07
