Thank you to Netgalley and Head of Zeus for a copy of this book.
Famous artist Shirin Saka is turning 100, her family and family friend and journalist, Burak have gathered to celebrate. Told through 4 different point of views; long held and life changing secrets are revealed. This book deals with a lot of important topics
I found the story itself incredible, but unfortunately the writing style didn't really work for me. The characters weaved in and out of timeline in a confusing manner, often leaving me bored. I throughly enjoyed the last 20% though.
