## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Always Love, Even When Life Is Difficult
*by R***Y on May 28, 2025*

Another book that makes you cry, smile, dream, and grieve with humanity. Ms. Shafak has such an incredible gift of bringing out the beauty even in the direst of situations. Her characters, which include people, as well as cities, are full of life. With this comes heartache, sadness, depth, beauty, fear, and love. Always love. It may not be presented as we are used to, but it is there.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Being a women in Turkey
*by P***A on July 21, 2024*

A novel by a female Turkish writer that builds on the theory that when the heart stops beating, the brain stays active for around 10 more minutes. Tequila Leila was murdered, and in those 10 minutes remaining she remembers her life and of his friends, all of them outcasts. They built a very strong group of 5 very peculiar friends and one would give his own life for the others. Through her experiences, we learn what life is like in Istambul and, as usual, that women had barely any importance. Her childhood was not easy, her father had two wives, and she never felt she belonged there. With time she decided to flee from home and settle down in Istambul. Life was hard and to earn her living she ended up as a prostitute, where she would gradually get to know her new-found friends. After her death, these friends felt they had the duty to honor her and that she deserved to have a decent burial. They would do whatever was needed to achieve it. A book about strong friendship and the desire to live.
