Before reading this book I heard of Elif Shafak, of course, but I never read anything by her or any review of her other books. Always going into the reading experience with preconceived notions. I tend to buy what I know or what was recommended to me. With visits to local bookshops curbed either by lockdown or by common sense the odds of randomly, almost magically discovering a new author are slim. This kind of gems was exactly what I was hoping and longing for. I got The Bastard of Istanbul from Books That Matter. ![]() Instead, I will be grateful for the spur of the moment decision back in August to sign up for three book subscription boxes. ![]() I may spend the next few paragraphs regretting not knowing Elif Shafak’s prose earlier. ![]()
