Pakkend verhaal vanuit een bijzonder perspectief: de vlucht van Turkse Joden uit Frankrijk naar Turkije. Boeiend geschreven. ( )

The story about the turkish jews was unknown to me. That gives the book a very strong emotional aspect. The lives of a family in Turkey are well described and you can easily follow there stories. The storyline of the book is clear. What I did not like is that some events that still have to happen are already indicated before as to prepare the reader. When it then happens I was irritated because I knew it already. An example is the dead of the man in the train, where jokes had been made before the dead that there is a dead man on the train. Then you know already what is going to happen and it takes away the emotion. ( )
