The setting is a small village in southwestern Anatolia in the waning years of the Ottoman Empire. Everyone there speaks Turkish, though they write it in Greek letters. It’s a place that has room for a professional blasphemer; where a brokenhearted aga finds solace in the arms of a Circassian courtesan who isn’t Circassian at all; where a beautiful Christian girl named Philothei is engaged to a Muslim boy named Ibrahim. But all of this will change when Turkey enters the modern world. Epic in sweep, intoxicating in its sensual detail, <b>Birds Without Wings</b> is an enchantment.16905472004Birds Without Wingstotal:1042|5:383|4:391|3:198|2:56|1:14|10424199160021844falsefalseThu Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007Mon Jan 14 09:15:44 -0800 2008Mon Jan 14 09:30:06 -0800 2008

The ten years since the runaway success of De Berni_ãres' Corelli's Mandolin have provided ample time for reviewers to sharpen their pencils. But potshots at his new novel are scarce, at least on this side of the Atlantic. Critics applaud the author's continued liberties with point of view, but the ...more...]]>

Em primeiro lugar fiquei logo assustada com as 685 páginas, depois com tantos personagens (com nomes estranhos) e com todos os termos utilizados pelo autor logo nas primeiras páginas
