Romance Quartet
Balzeeb, the ultimate emblem of beauty and wisdom, is the object of love for two doctors, friends both: Haroon and Latif. While in deep mourning at the death of her third husband, in a Khanaspur cemetery, Balzeeb meets Haroon. Latif and Haroon simultaneously grow closer and apart as they share their pursuit of “The Princess,” as she is known. The spools of mystery surrounding Balzeeb are woven majestically around the myth of the serpent, tragically unaware of her true nature.

The prose is certainly unusual and the ideas presented are interesting. However, like a few books I have read in the past, decent ideas and decent prose got undone by a disbelieving, poorly written romance subplot thread.
It may be a good book but that's not for me.

A majestic and timeless piece of fiction written in majestic prose, almost poetic and never dull.

This book was intense! Beautiful prose, amazing imagery and fantastical descriptions. I'll be parsing this one in my brain for some time.
