Recenzii
An intelligent, fierce and beguiling read
A thoughtful, charming bookthat offers a connection to other worlds, perspectives and possibilities
An intense, discursive and absorbing novel
One of the most important writers at work today, Elif Shafak eloquently explores Turkey's tumultuous present and past. Her magnificent latest moves between Istanbul and Oxford in a fascinating exploration of faith and friendship, rich and poor, and the devastating clash of tradition and modernity
A brilliant and moving novel.Elif Shafak writes about religion without superficiality or special pleading, retaining a sense of its impossible possibility or its possible impossibility.Three Daughters of Eveis a remarkable accomplishment
Elif Shafak's writing leaps off the page. InThree Daughters of Eveshe takes us spine-tinglingly right under the skin of three women, exposing the strains of friendship through love and loss.An utterly engrossing read.
Shafak's topical 10th novel is both an interrogation and a defence of Muslim identity
Luscious, heartbreaking, completely absorbing.It is a full-blown saga of emotion and character, straddling countries, cultures and languages, exploring its women's ambitions and desires; and at the same time a steady-eyed examination of the nameless rules - of femininity, duty, belief and behaviour - that keep us in line and under control.This is an absolutely consuming novel about women who know what they want, and a warning about the price we pay, written with the fluency and depth of an author at the very top of her game.
Exuberant, epic and comic, fantastical and realistic. . . like all good stories it conveys deeper meanings about human experience
A powerful book;thoughtful, provoking and compassionate
A brave and passionate novel
Moving, subtle and ultimately hopeful,Honouris further proof thatShafak is the most exciting Turkish novelist to reach western readers in years
Textul de pe ultima copertă
'An intelligent, fierce and beguiling read' Financial Times
On a spring evening in Istanbul, Peri is on her way to a dinner party - a night of luxury a far cry from her upbringing. But when her handbag is stolen her world shifts violently. She starts to doubt how she got here: a traumatic Istanbul childhood, student years in Oxford, the rebellious professor who led her and best friends Shirin and Mona to question everything - Islam, love, life, even God - and the scandal that tore them all apart. Over one desperate night she tries to make sense of a past she has tried to forget - but can we ever escape who we once were?
Shirin, Peri and Mona, they were the most unlikely of friends. They were the Sinner, the Believer and the Confused.
