Title: Not about rugs
Review: I got excited when I saw this book for three dollars at a store. The cover was compelling. I am putting this book aside for now because the protagonist had the trash people pick up a $20,000 very special carpet that fate put in his hands. Granted, it becomes a symbolic gesture of a failed marriage. This really offended my sensibilities about these carpets. Any rug merchant who admires the work of all those female fingers with broken backs because of the weaving process, would NOT throw out such a special carpet. He would have known he should use the carpet as a prayer rug to heal his wounds.I will read this another time. I finally acquired my own very special carpet after 40 years of longing. A better book if you want the real deal about these exquisite rugs is The Blood of Flowers: A Novel by Anita Amirrezvani. That book is extraordinary. This story is about a lonely immigrant.
