Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I must admit I do not read fiction that often but after having read this book recently, I must revisit this.
Simply put, a beautiful book.
I heard Shafak's interview on NPR with Terry Gross and found her comments engrossing so that I decided to buy the book.
The structure of the book is the Armenian genoicide and role of memory, past, present and future and the different roles they play in Turkish and Armenian society.
More than this, the travels through to the US and back, relate a sense of flightlessness which helps shape the feelings of identity. The look inside at the relationships among Turkish women is conveyed in a delightful manner. The intergenerational relationships and ties are also brilliantly expressed.
A must read, a really, really beautiful book.
