A review by kathrynamonett
Birds Without Wings by Louis de Bernières
5.0
Honestly, one of the best books I've read in a long time. (Granted, for a long time I've been reading mostly textbooks, so perhaps this rings out as more beautiful simply by comparison.)
Beautifully told, the storylines of several people from this town (+ one Mustafa Kemal) wind together to give a full and satisfying story about this small Ottoman town, at a time it was slowly (and all too quickly) becoming a Turkish town, to the benefit of seemingly no one.
