The Book Club discussion

Use this thread for comments through Chapter 4: Kanlica (167 - 220), ~53 pp.

Will try to add more another time and create some linkages with our book, but for now, here is a link on Kanlica:

"With its rough inlet, its seaside mansions, its streets surrounded by wooden buildings smelling of linden trees, and perhaps most importantly, with the famous “Kanlıca Yoghurt” almost synonimous with the town’s name, here is a little seaside town that has preserved its unique structure."

From p. 168. See (view spoiler)[

"...Lily’s yali was on the Asian side, near Kanlica, where people went for yogurt, and she had provided a small fleet of motorboats to ferry guests across..."

I noted the reference to yogurt when I was reading because I like Greek yogurt, but I didn't realize it was such a big deal as this article on Kanlica suggests. Kanon barely mentions the linkage, but it will come up obliquely once more, on p. 185.
