Review of 'Three Daughters of Eve' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This is one of the better books I've read recently. The author has a wonderful way with imagery and mood. Her characters are interesting, if a little one-sided, although this is intentional. I think the three women that are the focus of this story are meant to represent three different worldviews among Muslim women. Peri, like her home country of Turkey, is in the middle, caught between past and present, belief and doubt, traditions and modernism. I won't say much more, so as not to give anything away, but I definitely recommend this book, and I will read other works by Shafak.
