Istanbul: A Tale of Three Cities by Bettany Hughes

4.0

I cannot imagine how much work went into this book. It is herculean. The author tells the story of a city across millennia and it is fascinating. There are so many historical facts and themes that span chapters. She used a variety of evidence which made for intriguing reading. This is not a book you can read in one sitting though. It is truly a bear. I took a break in the middle and am glad for it.
