Historia4 out of 5 stars 62
Peri, a wealthy Turkish housewife, is on her way to a dinner party at a seaside mansion in Istanbul when a beggar snatches her handbag. As she wrestles to get it back, a photograph falls to the ground. A relic from a past - and a love - Peri had tried desperately to forget. The photograph takes Peri back to Oxford University, as an 18-year-old sent abroad for the first time. It also takes her to her home with her two best friends, Shirin and Mona, and their arguments about Islam and femininity and to the scandal that tore them all apart.

A book that you can't stop listening to
Revisado: 01-31-19
It is a great story of getting lodged between two words from a feminine perspective: the impossibility to leave home whole-heartedly on the one hand and returning home whole-heartedly on the other hand. Although I got hooked by the story I felt a slight imbalance between the first and second half of the book as plenty of the subjects, conflicts, themes raised in the first part remained unsolved by the end of the novel. Many subjects grew dim to give space to the theme of love.
I still could not decide whether I like it or not that the narrator talks with accent when Turkish characters speak. It felt a bit weird, nevertheless it makes the reading more animated.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 186
A shimmering evocation, by turns intimate and panoramic, of one of the world’s great cities, by its foremost writer. Orhan Pamuk was born in Istanbul and still lives in the family apartment building where his mother first held him in her arms. His portrait of his city is thus also a self-portrait, refracted by memory and the melancholy—or hüzün—that all Istanbullus share.

Flaneur in Istanbul
Revisado: 01-31-19
It is an excellent flaneur-novel vibrating from mixed emotions towards the city of Istanbul. A Bildungsroman, in which the young Orhan and the old city are reflecting each other's face. The impersonated city and the objectified self live in an organic symbiosis as their histories become intertwined.
I enjoyed the audiobook a lot, although the vast and detailed historical set of references the book provides sometimes makes the reading hard to follow.
