Elif Shafak Historical Fiction Novels Editorial Review
"The Bastard of Istanbul" is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that delves into the lives of two families, one Turkish and one Armenian, and explores the intertwining of their histories. The author, being Turkish herself, bravely tackles sensitive issues that are often ignored by the Turkish population. The book is filled with sadness but also has touches of humor, making it an interesting and entertaining read. The descriptions of Istanbul are particularly captivating. It not only sheds light on the Turkish and Armenian conflict but also delves into the impact of past events on individuals and nations as a whole. The characters in the book are well-drawn and believable, with each having a unique and powerful personality. The strength and love of women and family are themes that run throughout the story, making it a moving read. While the plot and character development at the beginning of the novel are strong, some readers felt that it was abandoned towards the end, leading to a rushed and mediocre finish. However, despite this flaw, the book is definitely worth reading. Overall, "The Bastard of Istanbul" is a beautifully written book that offers a unique perspective on family, culture, history, and the Consequences of personal secrets. It is highly recommended for those interested in Middle Eastern literature and those who enjoy thought-provoking stories.
