I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book exposing the feelings of both sides on the Turkish-Armenian conflict, wrapped around the story of several generations of old Istanbul families.

It is hard to understand the history if you cannot travel to that age with pages you read. Elif Safak creates a wonderful story reflecting the feelings of different people from different nations, how they feel about each other and how misunderstandings and love blossoms and especially how they are closely mixed with each other through generations of living togather and marriages, in an atmosphere sometimes enriched with unnatural things. Thanks for the wonderful book Safak.
