Damn you for writing Pinto and Osman and that ending Hemon

Audiobook narrator cannot pronounce "laudanum," an ill omen.

osman haunts the narrative

OH MY GOD not every character can be secretly dead!!! We have to take at least some things at face value to get through the effing book without seizures!! (my complaints during discussion)

DEEPLY deeply concerned for Rahela's welfare

tears in my eyes i just want pinto to be happy

ok Osman is seemingly alive I was sick to my stomach

"But if he could have ever married Osman, Pinto would tell Rahela many years later, that kiss would’ve been the crushed glass." Just fucking shoot me already Jesus christ

I found this a difficult read at times because of lots of different languages woven into the story. I did find it really interesting following people from Sarajevo in the aftermath of Archduke Franz Ferdinand being shot. A harsh realistic read

Osman and Pinto are so cute together. I'm sure nothing tragic will happen to them

Another book I'm being asked to read, for the comparative literature class I signed up for, can you believe it?!!

im gagged im loving this so far
