– This book, for those determined enough to trudge through its pages, bestows grand returns. Many times I thought I might give up, but as with the ascent of a great peak, the effort is ultimately given a glowing reward. The novel will echo on through your days, and its intricate plot and finely crafted characters will reverberate in your soul. For me, the themes of love and betrayal struck deeper than the also detailed looks at the battles of Islamists, secularists, leftists, etc, in today's Turkey. One can never have left his hometown and yet empathize with these fine characters. If this doesn't intimidate you and you have at least a little interest in the current state of affairs in the Islamic world, then Snow is an absolute must-read.
