Beautifully crafted story of the last days of the Ottoman rulers. It offers a very personal glimpse into the intimate thoughts, feelings, and experiences of a dynasty that seems so far off and remote from us today--but at the heart of this novel are real people, and a loving, caring family.
Perfect for those interested in Ottoman history as well as those that enjoy historical fiction. If you're at all familiar with the era, you'll recognise a fair number of the characters in the book, and will appreciate the chance to see what their lives were really like.
Great pacing, rich detail, vivid characters....I cannot wait to read more from this talented author!
