Never knew what exactly the plot was until it happened but I was along for the ride. Somd things seem nonsensical to me. The ending was underwhelming. Beautiful writing style.kmtaylor002's review against another edition

While this book didn't speak to me constantly, there were definite tones throughout that resonated. Fa is an angry woman looking for a way to make that anger useful. She is all too relatable, even as a woman birn over half a century ago. The representation in the book is varied and appreciated. I've never seen the Ottoman empire from this perspective before, and look forward to what other stories Wilson has to tell.
Moderate: Homophobia
Minor: Adult/minor relationship and Death of parent
