The City of Endless Walls is a Thousand and One Nights-esque
collection of interlinked tales in which a town’s inhabitants
decide to demolish the walls of their homes and build four
giant walls around the whole city. Their goal is to make the
whole town live in one shared home so that they become one
family. But instead, every day, a new town resident is murdered
by an unknown killer.
The book is divided into thirty-six tales and three chapters: the
women of the city of walls, the men of the city of walls, and
the strangers of the city of walls. The city where the tales take
place has no known name, nor do we know the time when
the tales take place. The one thing we know is that it exists
in an Arab, Eastern setting. Meanwhile, the tales of the book
are interconnected through the place, as characters often
disappear only to reappear once again in another tale.
This is a thrilling, wild, and sometimes frightening read.
It is full of strange tales and superstitions to keep the reader
constantly on edge.
