The Calligraphers' Night by Yasmine Ghata

Genre: Biographical Fiction

About: A bigraphical fiction based on the author's grandmother who is a calligrapher.

My Review: Exceptionally gorgeous. The vivid descriptions practically illustrates the elegant movement of the qalam and the ink forming a lyrically beautiful story. You see the calligrapher's life within these pages. Her struggles as a woman, wife and mother. Almost brought to life.

My Rating: 4/5

Quote: "Calligraphers do not have hearts to love with, but qalams to write with."
