Worth a read? Yes. Interesting to see how families and people are shaped by their history and environment. It was too predictable for me and too well knitted which made me lose interest. I felt it lacked focus but was immensely loaded with details to get you distracted from that- some details not needed but I guess Shafak was trying to keep us grounded with the traditions. Details of Zelihas pregnancy could have been treated with more seriousness. Much more seriousness as it touches a very sensitive ground that shouldn't be overlooked as such - that disappointed me most.
