Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights

Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights is a fantasy novel by British Indian author Salman Rushdie published by Jonathan Cape in 2015.

It deals with jinns, and recounts the story of a jinnia princess and her offspring during the "strangenesses".

The jinnia princess and her children thus need to fight to defend the Earth and the humans from them, the Grand Ifrits.

[5][6] In a review of the book in The Guardian, Erica Wagner said that it is a "wonderful" novel and praised Rushdie: "the dark delights that spring from his imagination in this novel have the spellbinding energy that has marked the greatest storytellers since the days of Scheherazade.

"[2] Also in The Guardian, Ursula K. Le Guin praises the novel's "fierce colours, [...] boisterousness, humour and tremendous pizzazz" and Rushdie's "fractal imagination".
