“Pamuk does for Istanbul something like what James Joyce did for Dublin. He captures not just the look and feel of the city, but its culture, its beliefs and traditions, its people and their values.” ~ The Washington Post

“Delightful. . . . Tremendous. . . . [Written with] virtuosic craft, intellectual richness, emotional subtlety and a feeling of freedom.” ~ The New York Times Book Review

“Poignant. . . . There are no uncomplicated human beings for Pamuk, who takes as one of his principal themes here the gulf between what people say publicly and think privately.” ~ Los Angeles Times

“A textured and rewarding narrative.” ~ The Economist

“Warm and gently engrossing. . . . At its heart, this is a novel about work, love and family.” ~ The Sunday Times
