The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye: Five Fairy Stories Byatt A. S.
A stunning collection of fairy tales for grown-ups from the Booker Prize-winning author of Possession, a storyteller who could keep a sultan on the edge of his throne for a thousand and one nights (The New York Times Book Review).Includes the story "The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye"--the basis for the George Miller film Three Thousand Years of Longing starring Idris Elba and Tilda SwintonA.S. As Byatt renders the relationship between the woman and the being with a powerful combination of erudition and passion, she makes the interaction of the natural and the supernatural seem not only convincing, but inevitable. Byatt portrays the strange relationship between an intelligent heroine--a world-renowned scholar of the art of storytelling--and the marvelous being that lives in a bottle, found in a dusty shop in an Istanbul bazaar.
