Het verhaal wordt vanuit de diverse betrokkenen verteld. Dat geeft zeker diepte aan het verhaal. Het is alleen jammer dat sommige delen van het verhaal erg voorspelbaar zijn, dat haalt zoms de vaart een beetje uit het verhaal. ( ) Şu hayatta insan en çok sevdiklerini acıtır.. En derin yaralar ailede açılır, kabuk tutsa bile kanar hikâye, içten içe... Aşkı aramadan evvel, düşün bir, ya benden nasıl bir âşık olur? İnsanın sevdası karakterinin yansımasıdır. Sen kavgacı isen, ha bire öfkeli, aşkı da bir cenk gibi yaşarsın. Gönlü pak olanın sevgisi de saf olur. Şu hayatta insan en çok sevdiklerini acıtır. En derin yaralar ailede açılır, kabuk tutsa bile kanar hikâye, içten içe... Attığımız her adım, yaptığımız her işte kendimizi yansıtırız. Budur çözülmesi gereken bilmece...
With Honour, her ninth novel, her fourth written in English and her first set in London, Shafak joins the growing canon of authors who chart the rich imagined routes of a nomadic city formed by global power-shifts, and the ebbs and flows of human traffic passing through London. She joins writers such as Hanif Kureishi, Zadie Smith, Monica Ali, Aamer Hussein, Andrea Levy, Hanan al-Shakyh and Leila Aboulela, who offer us fictional glimpses of London's Others......A whole host of minor characters appear, from zany Caribbean hairdresser Rita to Zeeshan the mystic; too many for much more than broad-brush characterisation. There are a few minor historical glitches in Shafak's portrait of 1970s subcultural life, but only picky Londoners of a certain age will notice.Inconsistencies in characterisation are more troubling than those in historical research. Shafak is an extremely popular novelist in Turkey, particularly loved by young, educated and newly independent women who appreciate her fusion of feminism and Sufism, her disarmingly quirky characters and the artful twists and turns of her epic romances.... In everything she writes, she sets out to dissolve what she regards as false narratives. In this one, it's the story of the "honour killing" as we know it from those shock headlines. The book calls to mind The Color Purple in the fierceness of its engagement with male violence and its determination to see its characters to a better place. But Shafak is closer to Isabel Allende in spirit, confidence and charm. Her portrayal of Muslim cultures, both traditional and globalising, is as hopeful as it is politically sophisticated. This alone should gain her the world audience she has long deserved.
Als een Koerdisch meisje haar geliefde volgt naar Londen, wordt zij achtervolgd door familiegeheimen en blijkt ook hij getekend door zijn verleden. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
