Media Reviews
Lushly and memorably magic-realist... This is an extraordinarily skilfully crafted and ambitious narrative, with Shakespearean twists and turns, omens and enigmas, prophecies and destinies fulfilled. * Independent on 'Honour' *
Rich and wide as the Eupharates river along whose banks it begins and ends, Elif Shafak has woven with masterful care and compassion one immigrant family's heartbreaking story... I loved this book. -- Sarah Blake on 'Honour'
A powerful book; thoughtful, provoking and compassionate -- Joanne Harris on 'Honour'
This is Shafak's most ambitious novel yet, and it is her best - told with a generous humanity that will surely realign attitudes both to the imaginative possibilities of fiction and to the constructed reality of the world around us. * Independent *
A gorgeous novel: worldly, intriguing, raucous yet elegant, teeming with love and cruelty--and brilliantly alive. -- A. D. Miller, author of the Booker shortlisted 'Snowdrops'
