It seems that the second half of Maalouf's books struggle to focus on the characters of the first half, and inevitably descend into a grand sociopolitical plot (which isn't very good story telling).

What a petty patriarch 😂😂😂

Similar to historical accounts of Copts, it's interesting that influential Lebanese Christians threatened to convert to Islam or Western Christianity if spurned (in the story anyway).

Interesting setting, strange plot thus far...
