pickI couldn‘t connect to the story, and I think that this book is an example of a 'good book at the wrong time'. I wasn‘t prepared for the complexity of the story, which requires a reader with strong concentration and dedication. So why pick? The metaphysical aspect of the whole story is interesting, well presented, and I did enjoyed in dynamic structure and rich, contemplative prose with which author managed to created a very melancholic atmosphere.

ephemeralwaltz Great review!! 7y
alisiakae Now I‘m hungry! We have a lovely small, family owned restaurant near where I live that is owned by a Bosnian couple. I go there whenever I get a craving for cevapi! 7y
Litlady Wonderful review! 👍 You've inspired me to read more Pamuk. 😊📚 I think I'll try The Red-Haired Woman next. I've heard it's one of his easier reads. I tackled 'Snow' years ago for my local book group and his novels do require a lot of concentration and patience to get through. The food looks divine, too! Yum!! 😋🤗![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

The Red-Haired Woman: A novelSimona @4thhouseontheleft Whenever I‘m not in the mood for cocking I usually order lepinjo from near restaurant. I think it is the most famous dish from Bosnia, or at least, the most common here in Slovenia. 7y
Simona Thank you @ephemeralwaltz 😘 7y
