City of Djinns: A Year in Delhi by William Dalrymple
3.0
2,5
A perfect book for the introduction into Delhi history, culture and the main sights. It was a bit confusing by the end with all the Indian names, religions and historical figures but it gave me a good overview of the history of the city I'm visiting. Though you really should see the places the author is writing about to understand the book.
Th story (apart from the historical parts) is nothing special, there is no development or action, but the author managed to grasp the essence of Delhi, with all its' mysticism, beauty and controversy.
