Review
An astonishingly rich and lively story of an Istanbul family whose mixed up heritage mirrors the complexity of Turkish society . . . a hugely ambitious exploration of complex historical realities handled with an enchantingly light touch ((starred review) Kirkus Reviews)
Overflows with a kitchen sink's worth of zany characters . . . an entertaining and insightful ensemble novel that posits the universality of family, culture and coincidence ((starred review) Publishers Weekly)
Funny, enlightening and entertaining . . . essential reading ((starred review) Library Journal)
