although these characters were fictional, Shafak mentions how they are all real in some fashion. it makes me want a better world for all people, especially women, and for women to have the ability to determine their own lives.

The book turned out to be way darker than I expected (note to read trigger warnings before starting a new book) but it was a very powerful read and left me reflecting on life, death and power dynamics in different cultures throughout the world. I absolutely adored the friendships like sprinkles of light in such a dark setting.
