Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

From Booker-shortlisted author Elif Shafak, comes a powerful tale of faith, love and friendship set across Istanbul and Oxford

Shirin, Peri and Mona, they were the most unlikely of friends. They were the Sinner, the Believer and the Confused.

On a spring evening in Istanbul, Peri is on her way to a dinner party - a night of luxury a far cry from her upbringing.

But when her handbag is stolen her world shifts violently. She starts to doubt how she got here: a traumatic Istanbul childhood, student years in Oxford, the rebellious professor who led her and best friends Shirin and Mona to question everything - Islam, love, life, even God - and the scandal that tore them all apart.

Over one desperate night she tries to make sense of a past she has tried to forget - but can we ever escape who we once were?

Exuberant, epic and comic, fantastical and realistic . . . like all good stories it conveys deeper meanings about human experience (Financial Times on 'The Architect's Apprentice')
Vivid storytelling... that explores the darkest aspects of faith and love (Sunday Telegraph on 'Honour')

Amazing. Talks freely about the state of the world and religion. Took me back to my university years. Love!

A masterpiece

One of the best books I've read/listened to in a long time! Beautiful, eye-opening, the kind of book you want to return to over and over again. Excellent narrator, too! (although I could have done without the accents)

Brilliant!

Not sure if I enjoyed this or not. Very easy to listen to story and well developed characters but really didn’t like the ending. It annoyed me.

An amazing story, im very happy i bought it. The narrator was good too. Although sometimes, her turkish accent resembled that of an Indian accent but overall did a marvellous job

Shafak does it again
