My Name Is Red by Orhan Pamuk

3.0

A largely entertaining, but difficult read. It's amazing how little actually occurs in this book. I think the narrative spans about a week, but because we skip between view points it is very slow to develop. And nothing is straightforward. There are layers and layers of description, innuendo and constant 2nd guessing within the mind of each character.

Much is beautifully written, but it left me frustrated.
