“it is not an easy book to read.. but still i am happy I did it. perheaps it is true that muslims can understand it better, but I beleive that such a deep view of a whole society can be given only by a great artist with full knowledges about what it is writing and by someone who has deep feelings.. i liked more the chapter "my name is red". on the other side I see the figure of Shekure as an example of how motherhood can be presented. I beleive that more than her beaty(which is not described in fact), it is her clevereness and sense of practicity that attract anyone's attention. At the end of the book, thinking of her, it brought in my mind first pages of " Year 93" of V.Hygo where motherhood it is explained in a total diferent way, but yet very impresive..”
