10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World

My first Elf Shafak book. Easy read and powerful story.

However more importantly, it takes place in the complex city, Istanbul, where I was born. And reading about Istanbul, its different parts and uniqueness I know very well was very nostalgic and enjoyable in a deep way.

I had this very strong feeling of knowing what she was talking about.

I like the friendship story too.
