i'm still reading the Night of the Plague and loving but Orhan Pamuk is one of my favourite writer and knew what to expect.
It's a sort of door stopper and one of his longest book. Not a good book to approach a complex, multilayered, and riveting authors.
This is not an average historical fiction and there's also another layer to be discovered and something hidden in the story
There's a lot of history on the background- There's the twilight of the Ottoman empire and there's a fascinating and fictional island.
I'm still reading and loving what I'm reading. One piece of advice: if you want to start reading Pamuk try "My Name is Red" or "Istanbul: Memories and the City"
I will be back and add something to this review.
Even if it's one of the best book of 2022 for me I would recommend if you love literary historical fiction or you already read something by this author.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
