I d0n't know if this non fiction, historical fiction, or whatever. I know I loved this book and was enthralled by what I was reading.
Istanbul is one of my favorite places in the world and Süleymaniye Mosque is one of my favorite places in Istanbul.
It's the story of an age full of fascinating and strong characters, an age of importante changes like the Reform and Renaissance, an age where two different culture clashes and live side by side at the same time.
It's an important part of the European culture if you are born next to the Mediterranean and I learned a lot more about this time even if it's not the first book about these age I read.
The storytelling is hypnotic and I was enthralled and couldn't stop turning pages.
It's an excellent book but you will appreciate it if you know about XVI century European history or are ready to learn: in in this I strongly recommend it.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine
