Excellent. Shafak writes beautifully. She paints pictures with words. She stirs the soul. She is a true storyteller.

المصادفة الغريبة جعلتني اتذكر هذه الرواية بعد أن كنت أهرب منها بكل الطرق
أن أقرأ شيئاً بديعا كهذا في هذا الوقت من حياتي
...........
مزقتني القصة واعادت ترتيبي...لا أعتقد انني سأنسى شمس او عزيز لزمن طويل

I was not the target audience for this. Too mystical for me, and I found myself rolling my eyes a lot with all the lessons and with Ella's decisions. I did enjoy learning a bit about Sufism and Islam.

This bored me. I agree with the high level concept that people should matter more than religious dogma, but the love part had me rolling my eyes.
