It is a brilliant evocation of place (various locations in Turkey), and exploration of familial relationships from women's point of view. There are so many new fiction books trying to attract our attention all the time. This one stands out from the crowd and is one of the most rewarding I have read in many years. It is on my list of all-time favourites. Try it. Take it on holiday, snuggle under the quilt for a couple of days and be transported! Ein Haus am türkisblauen Ägäischen Meer, bewachsen mit Jasmin, umgeben von Schatten spendenden Linden und Kastanien - hier beginnt die Geschichte von Esma und ihren Kindern und Kindeskindern. Alev Croutier, eine türkische Scheherezade, erzählt in diesem Generationen umspannenden Familienroman, der auch ein Stück türkische Geschichte ist, eine Fülle von berückenden, phantastischen und doch ganz lebensnahen Details. Sie breitet vor uns eine Welt aus, die in vielem noch an Tausendundeine Nacht erinnert, aber längst auch schon geprägt ist vom Westen. Eine wunderschöne exotische Geschichte.

"An exotic and beautiful story" (Isabel Allende) chronicling the lives of four generations of remarkable women, sweeping readers from the last days of the Ottoman monarchy to Turkey's transformation into a republic and the present day backlash. "A highly imaginitive family saga...Croutier's measured prose is artistic and sensuous" (San Francisco Chronicle) as the story of a silkmaking family iss told through the houses they occupied. From a grand villa in Smyrna in the early twentieth century to a silk plantation in the foothills of Mount Olympus, from a tiny house in a sleepy town to an apartment in a modern urban high-rise, the family's dwellings reflect its fortune's rise and fall. As communal baths and odalisques give way to movies and cell phones, four unique yet powerfully linked women experience all of life's hardships and pleasures.
