Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-eight Nights
Description
In a near-future New York, a catastrophic storm tears open the boundary between the human world and the realm of spirits, unleashing a sweeping conflict between jinn forces of darkness and the “good” descendants tied to an ancient promise. At the center of the upheaval is Dunia, a jinn princess, whose love for Ibn Rushd—a doctor of reason—turns personal devotion into a philosophical and physical battleground. As the war escalates across streets and skies, debates about belief, morality, and the nature of reality become inseparable from the fate of the city itself. With Salman Rushdie’s signature lyrical, myth-saturated style and magical realism, this novel blends romance, modern myth, and spiritual warfare into a vivid meditation on what we choose to call good, evil, and human.
