Title: Thanks for taking me on an incredible journey
Product review: I loved this book and felt that Mrs Kazan gently openeda new window to me, to a culture, time, and people far away yet in some ways in terms of the heroine of the book very close.I'd love to be able to read more on Halide Adivar but we are unable to find English translations of her work here in US.I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because there were times I felt Kazan could have developed her characters with more depth, and given the reader even a better feeling of the city. for example the neighborhood Halide ended up living in the European quarter could have been described in more vivid detail same goes for the Ottoman palaces Yildiz, and Cirakan. I am not sure if this was part of the fiction but I was delighted to read that Halide dumped the Mathematician loser who was making plans to take on a second wife and married Mr.Adivar quickly after. Beautiful cover artwork too! A must-read if you are into historical fiction.
