I've always enjoyed Elif Shafak's stories... they are so powerful... and somehow raw in the sense of true authenticity. And this one follows the same pattern! Usually I don't enjoy so much back and forth in the time writings but this one seemed... natural! The characters are loveable and somehow it's really enjoyable to read fiction with some historical realities...
