Mam mieszane uczucia po przeczytaniu "Mało". Po opisie z okładki nie spodziewałam się tak ogromnej dawki przemocy - fizycznej i psychicznej, a jednak historia, a właściwie dwie historie przedstawione w książce, wciągnęły mnie do reszty. Pomimo całego zła i okropieństw wciąga i czyta się szybko. Może również dlatego, że przemoc opisana jest w prosty sposób, a cierpienie - bez zbędnych ckliwości. Dostajemy tu wręcz ogrom nieszczęść i za każdym razem pojawia się to samo pytanie - ile tak naprawdę możemy znieść?
Doskonałe tłumaczenie, z przypisami tłumacza, które bardzo ułatwiają odbiór polskiemu czytelnikowi niezbyt zorientowanemu w tureckiej polityce.

The Few is about two characters of the same name - one is a girl who has been married off to an older man, and then taken to England. She never has the chance to leave the apartment and is abused every day, until she finally has the chance to escape. Life isn’t easy though, and she does what she can to survive.
Meanwhile, a little boy, whose father is in prison and mother passes away, forces himself to bury his mother to avoid going to an orphanage. He raises himself by stealing scraps of food and constantly telling people his mother is just sick. After trying to put himself in a better spot, he joins smugglers and is recruited to murder someone, ending up in prison.
How will these lives intertwine?
It was interesting but definitely felt like it dragged on for a bit. I traveled to Istanbul earlier this year though, so it was really fun to be reading and recognizing streets I walked.
