"Istanbul was Constantinople, now it's Istanbul not Constantinople..."

Cool coming of age story with quirky characters, interesting glimpses into the history of the Ottoman Empire and with some magical realism thrown into the mix. Easy, enjoyable read!

The food was also highly enjoyable and delicious, brilliant opportunity to try the more interesting items from the Turkish store.

👍🏽Tagged title and all 3 Ben Aaronovitch books.

My first book of 2024 had it all; originality, humor, love, family, history, and so much more! The writing was as beautiful as the cover (pictures can‘t do it justice with all the gold accents, it‘s truly gorgeous), and if you enjoy learning new words, this is the book for you! Several times I would have to look up a “new to me” word - I should‘ve underlined or highlighted them because of course now I can‘t think of a single one 😂

This was an interesting story, a historical read set in England and Turkey.

I‘m about 25% into this and it‘s such an odd yet intriguing book. Looking forward to seeing where the story goes.

This was exactly what it said on the tin (blurb): Bonkers characters, adventurous journeys to Constantinople, a bit of magical realism, a love story.

Thanks for bringing the book to my attention, @RaeLovesToRead.

Definitely recommend reading it, @TrishB @julieclair.

Totally blaming this on @RaeLovesToRead

I have joined the #goldsboroprem1er book club and each month I get a beautifully curated book signed and numbered by the author. This has afforded me a chance to read books I would otherwise not be exposed to. This book was beautifully written and I adored the characters. I highly recommend this title. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
