A review by shimauchiha
The Red-Haired Woman by Orhan Pamuk
2.0
2.5 stars for beautiful, flowing writing and mentions of the Shahname, which, if the world was a fairer place, would have been just as celebrated as Iliad or Odyssey.
Not half a star more because among other things, the ending felt like a cop out and in the end, I'm left feeling unsatisfied. Not to mention that I've grown up with Rostam and Sohrab and I've been to Turkey, and I don't think the book lives up to the magic of either.
