I've been trying to get into it since March and failed. I do still like her very much as a story teller, but this was too dense and slow to really engage me.

Shafak's writing is great, stylish and clever, but I just couldn't get into the book because of the lack of plot, or even mini plots.

باختصار.. كتاب سخيف و لا أصدق أنه كاتبته هي المبدعة أليف شافاك .. وصف بالتفصيل الممل و الأحداث بطيئة و بدون هدف ..
