    🎯Worthwhile

    The story of two families - Armenian and Turkish - linked by the historical bond of a genocide, set in a very vivid, pulsating Istanbul. Well-written, deftly drawn character studies, an
    absorbing plot. One reservation but no spoilers...the resolution left me unconvinced.

    the indifference deep underneath had just whispered to her not to mind other people’s opinions since they would make no difference at the end of the day.

    That was the one thing about the rain that likened it to sorrow: You did your best to remain untouched, safe and dry, but if and when you failed, there came a point in which you started seeing the problem less in terms of drops than as an incessant gush, and thereby you decide you might as well get drenched.

    How could he take refuge in his manufactured amnesia any longer?
