Midnight at the Pera Palace: The Birth of Modern Istanbul
by Charles King
A very cool look at a fascinating city. From the gorgeous cover, I thought this book would be a close look at Istanbul in the 1920s, but it’s so much more. The narrative spans the first and second world wars, including all the regional politics. As an archaeologist, I loved the section on the Hagia Sophia the most.
