    While some elements were intriguing, the story ultimately fell flat for me. It was hard to follow and hard to stay committed to reading.

  2. Akhand Vaibhav Singh

    A complex and moving novel about cultural clashes and family dynamics. Though some aspects were a bit confusing. I will recommend to my friends.

  3. Sagar Kumar

    I had mixed feelings. The writing was beautiful, but I struggled to connect with some characters. It got slow at times, but picked up later.

  4. Kranti Karan Vir Singh

    It was an okay read. I liked the history and culture. The characters were interesting but the story was all over the place.

  5. Inder Preet Singh

    A captivating story that kept me hooked until the end. The themes of loss and reconciliation were particularly powerful. Recommended!

    Not what I expected, but pleasantly surprised. Some chapters dragged on, but I couldn’t put it down and had to finish it.

  7. Deepak Krishnan V

    This book is beautifully written. I felt lost in the middle but ending made up for the middle part. I highly recommend this book.

  8. Mohammad Fahim Faisal

    Istanbul comes alive in this book! I enjoyed the exploration of Turkish culture, though some plot points felt predictable. Overall a good book.

  9. Akshay Ravindra Muddinagiri

    A thought-provoking read about identity and family secrets. While the pacing felt uneven at times, the characters were compelling.

  10. Suryansh Mishra

    The book beautifully portrays intergenerational trauma. I wasn’t thrilled with the ending, but the rest of the story was worthwhile.
