حتى الآن الرواية لطيفة، ذكية
طريقة الكتابة بالسرد ذي الأصوات المتعددة ممتاز

ولكني أتساءل عن هذه المباشرة في تحطيم الجدار الرابع بالشكل السحري، هل لو لم أكن أقرأ لباموق مدركًا قيمة الرجل… هل كنت سأواصل القراءة تحت مظلة ذي التقنية

The guy writing this is a freak

روایتش جالبه؛ مخصوصاً از فرم روایت در فصل "درخت" خیلی خوشم اومد، وقتی میگه معلوم نیست مال کدوم داستانم و

Trop d'infos déjà

I read this over a decade ago, closer to its publication date, but am re-reading with new eyes :)

Still plowing through this.

Either a premonition or self fulfilling prophecy. I knew I wouldn’t finish her yet. Temporarily on pause. Good just. Later.

... why are turks so weirdly obsessed with the chinese?

there are many things in this book that are vaguely puzzling.

why does everything i read these days turns out to be a detective story??

coffee hate based tho.

Not so pleasant to read as a woman so far

“Postojalo je bezgranično vreme pre nego što sam se rodio, a, i pošto sam umro, i dalje postoji vreme kojem neće biti kraja! Dok sam živeo o tim stvarima nisam ni razmišljao; živeo sam, tako, obasjan svetlošću sred dva vremena tame.”

Currently doing 6 chapters a night and finding it really interesting.

Waiiitt it’s tea. Will just take me a while still

I doubt I’ll wrap this up before I pick up a new one. But one day. I’ll finish it.

Dándole otra oportunidad a este libro...

The book starts out with a strong sense of voice, but my interest has waned due to the multiple perspectives (people, colors, coins, dead people) all told from a first person voice. It’s becoming repetitive and I am finding myself skimming pages …

Avanzando al final. Gracias a Dios ya casi por terminar. Un pesar, tenia altas expectativas y me ha ocasionado un bloqueo lector.

Parece que va cambiando el tono. Ojalá avance más rápido.

Vaya que me esta tomando tiempo leerlo, lo peor que me quito el impulso que llevaba con Los Miserables.

Black returns battered and bloodied to the home in which he was hiding Shekure and the children and takes them back to Enishte’s. Convinced Black is going to die, Shekure commits a sexual act she had refused days before, which seems to miraculously give him new life. He lives another twenty-six years in melancholy not quite healing. Hasan flees Istanbul. Esther visits and shares the news of the murderer’s death.

The murderer is revealed, and the other three attempt to subdue him. After they blind him, he gives his full account and confession of the murders. Then, the murderer gains the upper hand and ends up stabbing Black in the shoulder before making his escape to catch a ship for Hindustan. After walking through the city, he is confronted by Hasan who kills him for possessing his ruby-handled dagger.

Creo que lo voy a abandonar, no me atrapa nada

“For if a lover's face survives emblazoned on your heart, the world is still your home.”

The trio make their way to Olive’s place of hiding. What begins a search and an interrogation slowly fades into reminiscing on the miniaturists’ journey together from apprentices to masters.

Black and Butterfly interrogate Stork. After Stork adequately convinces them he is not the murderer, the trio make their way to the dervish lodge where he believes Olive is hiding.
