Jane’s Reviews > City of Man's Desire: A Novel of Constantinople > Status Update

None of the characters is likeable. It's turned into a love story among Europeans in Constantinople. I'm disappointed. I thought it would be more about the revolution and aftermath and its effect on local people. Not really that much description of Constantinople of that period, in my opinion. I'm skimming and this novel has become a chore to read.

What I think is the central event of this novel: the Young Turk Revolution of 1908.
