I love Turkish authors and I was more than happy to read this book.
It was a great reading experience as the style of writing is luscious and makes you feel like you were living with the characters.
The characters are excellent, fascinating and the descriptions of Smyrna are memorable.
I hope to read other books by this excellent author soon as I loved the storytelling.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
