Amazing, the author fully grasped on the paradox middle eastern and muslim women living in an occidentalised world experience, navigating between love, hate and questionnement about their faiths, origins and God. I especially appreciated the poetry in her words, beauty the descriptions and amazing ending, there couldn't have been a more fitting curtain fell to this masterpiece.

<The little details that bothered me where some "inconsistencies" like how Peri did not step up for Azur, Troy's obsessional hate for him, the fact that Adnan (the husband), supposedly the one who brought Peri back to Istanbul did not make a single appearance in the flashbacks, like if she didn't even know him. The killing scene in the villa also just felt pretty odd to me. I would still highly recommend this book tho>
