A beautiful, emotional story, that covers so much ground in such a clever way. I will be thinking about it for a long time. I loved the very start and the second half best, especially the stories of Leila and her friends, and would recommend the audiobook highly.

Beautiful description of Istanbul the city, and the political trauma it faces. Alongside this, all the characters story's showed a reflection of the city and the sanctuary of making your own family who love you and support your choices
