The Flea Palace by Elif Shafak
3.0
2.5
Whimsical.
Elif Shafak has the ability to crawl into the minds of wildly different characters and write from their headspace. Her writing was beautiful, captivating and her metaphors brought them to life.
However, it was pretty hard to read and really slow at times. The ending was anti-climatic and it was hard to keep up with the characters. I wanted to rush the book to finally see what happens.
Overall, a pretty great book, with charming characters and thought-provoking ideas,
but... a hit or miss.
