10 reviews for Oleander, Jacaranda

  1. Aman

    Borges at his best! Captures the magic and wonder of childhood. A bit dense in places, but worth the effort.

  2. Siddharth Madan

    I enjoyed the book, the descriptions of the land were amazing. However, I felt it lacked a certain pull.

  3. Anonymous

    The imagery is striking and unique! A bit slow at times, but the payoff is a unique perspective.

  4. Rik Raj Dey

    Intriguing glimpse into childhood during wartime. Some of the imagery was stunning, but I struggled to fully connect with the narrator.

  5. Saurav Baburao Maske

    A brilliant exploration of memory and place! Borges’ ability to evoke emotion is unmatched. I loved this book.

  6. Lukshyaraj Samal

    Interesting concept, but I couldn’t fully get into it. The writing style felt a bit detached from the story. I wished for more.

  7. Jhalak Grover

    A beautiful, nostalgic trip. Borges’ writing is as evocative as ever, but I found some sections a little slow-paced. Overall, a worthwhile read for Borges fans.

  8. Shreyashi Sarkar

    A masterpiece! Borges’ prose is lyrical and captivating. The translation is excellent. Highly recommend!

  9. Sumit Kumar Sahu

    Lovely prose, but I wish there was more historical context provided. Still, a fascinating look at Egypt through a child’s eyes.

  10. Adarsh Sirmour

    Not my favorite Borges, but still a worthwhile read. The descriptions of Egypt are gorgeous, but the story felt a little thin.
