"The House of Djinn" brings to a close the trilogy begun in "Shabanu, Daughter of the Wind", a Newbery Honor Book. I found all three books a fascinating glimpse into a culture and world that was totally unfamiliar to me. Although the books are fiction, the author states that the stories are based on actual interviews with women from the Pakistan region. "The House of Djinn" tells the story of Shabanu's daughter "Muti" as ancient traditions collide with modern ideas regarding a woman's role. One is left hanging about Shabanu's future, but there is hope that this independent, resourceful "daughter of the wind" will make her own way to happiness, as she always has.I would recommend this book for young people as well as adults. The story is well told and moves along at a fast clip.
A very magic realism-esque take on the dichotomy of being Pakistani and American. I like Mumtaz as a character more than shabanu, as she seems somehow more grounded. The whole Chloe plotline was very heavy handed tho, and detracted from the overall plot.
When reading this book, I felt as if its relation to the first book in the trilogy (the Newberry Award-winning "Shabanu") was something like the relationship of "Scarlett" to "Gone With the Wind." Whereas the first two (wonderful!) books focus on Shabanu and the intricacies of life in Pakistan and Pakistani society, "The House of Djinn" bounces its focus to Mumtaz and the heretofore unknown Jameel, while Shabanu herself appears barely twice. While the first two books are rich with detail on the landscape, cities, rituals, and intrigue, this book jumps clumsily from scene to scene, name-dropping skateboard tricks.I remember being left on the edge of my seat when "Haveli" ended, and after growing impatient with years of waiting for a resolution, visiting the author's website and discovering that she had never planned to write a third book at all. This felt akin to Tolkien's simply ending his books at the Two Towers with "Frodo was alive, and taken by the enemy." I was horrified. I couldn't have been happier when she decided to write this book to resolve those missing questions. Alas, the book is so rushed and thin on detail that it's almost as if it was written by someone else. It does NOT read like the grandchild of the Newberry Award-winning "Shabanu." I didn't connect with a single character in the book, even the ones I'd liked before. I'm bitterly disappointed...she resolved the issues only technically, as if saying "here's your book, now leave me alone."A final thought: this is the fourth book I've read by Suzanne Fisher Staples, and I've come to notice that every single one of them (the Shabanu trilogy and "Shiva's Fire") seem to end right in the middle of the climax. While open endings are appropriate for some stories, after a while it starts to feel lazy. Finishing her books with no sense of closure is jarring.Enjoy "Shabanu" and "Haveli," but stop there.
Shabanu and Haveli have had far more effort and time devoted to storytelling than this book.This was a disappointment.
This is the third book in this trilogy. It's story about life in Pakistan as a young girl in a traditional household is disturbing with undertones of hope for the future. It's not an easy read but is well worth it.
The original book is better; however you feel for the situation of young people from different cultures who are raised in America.
Beautiful. Shabanu, Haveli, and now The House of Djinn. Absolutely beautiful. Each one transports you. I couldn't put this book down and ended up reading it straight through. Strongly recommend this book.
