In her second novel written in English, Elif Shafak confronts her country's violent past in a vivid and colorful tale set in both Turkey and the United States.

At its center is the "bastard" of the title, Asya, a 19-year-old woman who loves Johnny Cash and the French Existentialists, and the four sisters of the Kazanci family, who all live together in an extended household in Istanbul. They include Zehila, the zestful, headstrong youngest sister, who runs a tattoo parlor and is Asya's mother; Banu, who has newly discovered herself as a clairvoyant; Cevriye, a widowed high-school teacher; and Feride, a hypochondriac obsessed with impending disaster. Their one (estranged) brother lives in Arizona with his wife and her Armenian daughter, Armanoush. When Armanoush secretly flies to Istanbul in search of her identity, she finds the Kazanci sisters and becomes fast friends with Asya. A secret is uncovered that links the two families and ties them to the 1915 Armenian deportations and massacres.

Full of vigorous, unforgettable female characters, The Bastard of Istanbul is a bold, powerful tale that will confirm Shafak as a rising star of international fiction.

I started listening because I tried reading and just couldn’t get going. The book had its moments but it just didn’t do it for me. There was also a pretty significant detail that wasn’t caught.

Rough start

A very intriguing cast of characters. I loved the depth and the historical perspectives of the Armenian diaspora.

Istanbul ❤️

This book passed the time nicely enough during my 2 hour daily commute, but it wasn't exactly riveting. The characters were fleshed out nicely and the author captured the oddities that families endure, and learn to endear, but the end was easy enough to see coming.

Passed the Time Nicely

Jaw dropping ending. Beautiful story that delicately represents both Armenian and Turkish views on genocide. Focusing on unifying people for being people and finding similarities than focusing on differences. I absolutely loved it. The narrator is wonderful and kept me engaged, however, she awfully mispronounced almost everything that was either Turkish or names of places. It was distracting and surprising that she may not have had the opportunity to practice the non-English words and as a native Turkish speaker, I was even lost in some places.

Phenomenal story!

Cultural Descriptions of Turkey, Armenians, description of food, environment, characters, family situations and customs that keep them together.

History

Sad, engaging and inspiring, The Bastard of Istanbul hooked me quickly. The story is of strong women and touches apon the Armenian deportation from Turkey. If you are going to visit Turkey, read a couple of El if Shafak's novels as a wonderful introduction to the rich history and culture of this country. Perhaps you will fall in love with it, as I have.

another wonderful story from shafak

The story would have been more palatable had it not had so many different tales to carry. And poorly produced: no sooner do you hear the last word of the chapter, you also hear chapter two, or ten or whatever. No spacing between chapters.

Too jumbled
