ianca_rebel 's review for:
The Red-Haired Woman
by Orhan Pamuk
I was reluctant to even continue this book, however some mystical force drew me to not let it go - ah, oh, so rewarding the feeling I didn't! I could barely resist its last 150 pages, when the story really began to unfold and create some tension.
I admire Pamuk's work and ultimately found it enticing. It is a story about fathers, sons, and fatherless sons, and their twisted connections, a history which almost repeats itself. It is partly also a story about the urbanization of Istanbul and its Westernization.
Without giving away too many details, I would just say: if you feel like reading something different, with a trace of mythical tales, and above all, if you have patience to get over the well-digging apprenticeship descriptions, then read it.
