  1. A must read! Witty and sometimes heart wrenching. Wonderfully written
  2. A wonderful book of 1930's Italy and 1990's Ireland. The chapters fill the reader will vivid and terrifying descriptions and emotions. The reader is flipped from past to present throughout, while the characters feel real and human. Whist been a love story the characters are forced to dig deep and face there regrets. Incredibly moving
  3. This book is both absorbing and rich with descriptions of Istanbul, past and present. A story of the events between the Turks and the Armenians in 1915 trickle through in a pwoerful way; whilst giving each character a motive and reason for there consequential actions. One of my favourate books by far, however I found the title lets the book down. The title draws too much on one character, which I think is mis-leading, as all the characters seem to have equal inportance.
  4. The Berbers have a saying; that God gave the world ten gifts, and that the tenth of those gifts is books...

  5. The first time I started to read this book, I could not get into the story and gave up a few pages in. A few months later I started to read and couldn't put it down. The book takes the reader through a string of emotions and I found myself holding back the tears on numerous occassions. Very powerful and how wonderful to read of a time when Kabul was not so war torn. One of my favourates!
