John C. (beetlebrox) reviewed on 8/10/2005 + 20 more book reviews

If you like well written novels, this is for you: story of an Englishman in the Ottoman world of early 1900's. As remote and dull as that setting sounds, the writer has wonderful way of writing so that it all seems very familiar. If you like novels that are more into three-dimensional characters and the nuances & paradoxes of the human spirit, you'll like this.
