I will put the Shafak book on my to-read list. I like how she is willing to delve into hot-topic Turkish issues with honesty and clarity.

Her novel 10 Minutes & 38 Seconds is one I would highly recommend, as it provides insights into the history of Turkish women through the dying thoughts of a scorned Istanbul prostitute.

It is an excellent read — and v good in translation too! Will add 10 Minutes to my list as in the market for a new book. Thank you
