The Sultan secretly commissions a great book: a celebration of his life and the Ottoman Empire, to be illuminated by the best artists of the day - in the European manner. In Istanbul at a time of violent fundamentalism, however, this is a dangerous proposition. Even the illustrious circle of artists are not allowed to know for whom they are working. But when one of the miniaturists is murdered, their Master has to seek outside help. Did the dead painter fall victim to professional rivalry, romantic jealousy or religious terror?

With the Sultan demanding an answer within three days, perhaps the clue lies somewhere in the half-finished pictures . . .

From Turkey's winner of the Nobel Prize and author of Istanbul and The Museum of Innocence, this novel is a thrilling murder mystery set amid the splendour of Istanbul and the Ottoman Empire. Part fantasy and part philosophical puzzle, My Name is Red is also a stunning meditation on love, artistic devotion and the tensions between East and West.

My Name is Red is certainly a commendable and imaginative work, however, the narrative style can make the book seem confused, even disjointed.
This reviewer was torn between awarding a 3 and a 4 Star rating, but 4 was settled upon owing to the strength of the philosophical insights and the beauty of the text.
This version was enhanced by the narration of John Lee, who I can only describe as the greatest ever Audible narrator.
A challenging, yet beautiful work. Even if one is lost within the narrative, simply lay back and enjoy the beauty of the writing. Not an easy undertaking, but well worth it.

Beautiful, but difficult narrative style

Took a while to grow on me, but it did grow on me. Potentially this might be more of a reading than listening text but the narration itself is excellent and this story really rewards the relative slowness and passivity of listening to narration.

Requires attention!

I couldn’t get through the whole book because I couldn’t stand the reader. He took the story far away from Istanbul with his interpretation of the characters.

Brilliant book. Transports you to another culture and time while at the same time providing intrigue. Loved the multiple narrators.

Excellent

A wonderful technique by Orhan but the philosophy of painting didn't inspire me. I prefer his post Nobel books.

Great storyteller even though he tired me at times
