Richly evocative. A fascinating stream of storytelling.

Financial Times

Se alle

Engrossing. I turned the pages hungrily, carried by Shafak’s energetic prose and confident that it was heading towards a coherent and rewarding ending. As ever, Shafak did not disappoint.

I Paper

An absorbing novel. Shafak is a novelist whose interest in mapping the intricately related world and its history goes beyond literary device.

- Colum McCann,

A writer of important, beautiful, painful, truthful novels

- Marian Keyes,

A brilliant, unforgettable novel, which raises big ideas of 'who owns the past' with nuance and complexity. Elif Shafak ties together diverse time periods and places in a way that seems both natural and wonderfully unexpected.

- Mary Beard,

Bright, vivid and timeless like rivers.
