Für meinen Buchklub gelesen.

Ich bin völlig überwältigt von Dschinns. Ich möchte gleichzeitig so viele Worte darüber verlieren und weiß nicht welche. Dieses Buch hat mich immer wieder zum weinen, nachdenken, an den Seiten kleben gebracht und war so so schwer und schmerzhaft und trotz alledem so unfassbar bereichernd. Und ich möchte es einfach allen Leuten um mich herum in die Hand drücken und ihnen ganz viel dazu erzählen, warum sie es lesen sollten.

Fatma Aydemir schafft es einfach auf eine Art und Weise zu schreiben, die es so leicht macht, mit ihren Figuren mitzufühlen, selbst wenn deren Verhalten mit anzusehen weh tut. Und das aufrechtzuerhalten, wenn das Buch alle sechs Perspektiven der Familie abdeckt ist wirklich eine krasse Leistung.

Es fühlt sich fast platt an, das so zu schreiben, aber dieses Buch hat mich berührt und Dinge in mir in Bewegung gebracht, die mich über dessen Seiten hinaus beschäftigen werden. Ich kann es kaum erwarten zu sehen, was Fatma Aydemir noch so in Zukunft schreiben wird!
