The Djinn Waits a Hundred Years, Shubnum Khan

Review:

This book is a character study wrapped in a mystery.  Khan also frequently uses anthropomorphism and this use imbues the tale with a house that has feelings and nature that walks, talks, whispers, and grasps.  In addition, Khan provides a sense of both destiny and purpose in the lives that, on their face, seem basic.  The human relations are both complex and dynamic fostered by flashbacks and partially told histories.  This was a fun and quick read which used the Djinn as foil rather than as wish fulfillment.
