Review
"An enchanting, gorgeous read . . . Lukas captures the scents and sounds, the vivid beauty, the subtle intrigue and simultaneous naivety, of the Ottoman Empire unaware of its imminent demise."--Siobhan Fallon, author of You Know When the Men are Gone
"This first novel by a promising young writer is both vivid historical fiction and a haunting fable."--Library Journal
"A beautifully written debut novel. . . . Political intrigue, historical upheaval and Eastern mysticism come together in surprising ways as Lukas brings the book to a poignant conclusion tinged with magical realism."--Mercury News
"A gem of a first novel...an appealing blend of magical and historical realism...This is a polished literary work that will appeal to a wide readership."--Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Michael David Lukas charms in his debut."--Vanity Fair
"A magical debut."--Good Housekeeping
"Lukas . . . brings a raconteur's sense of storytelling, a traveler's eye for color and a scholar's sense of history to his first novel. . . . Lukas has given us a Turkish delight."--San Francisco Chronicle
"A stunning debut . . . Lukas has managed to create an instant classic that feels as if it should be retroactively slipped into the great libraries of the old world."--Reif Larsen, author of The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet
"A lyrical debut...A passionate novel that beautifully conveys the flavor of Turkish culture...focusing on the effect a young prodigy has on the political leaders of the time."--Kirkus Reviews
"In his enchanting debut novel, Michael David Lukas captures the mystical world of the Ottoman Empire."---Book Beast
