DNF @ 230.
It's not a bad book per se, but the thought of continuing, as Marie Kondo would put it, "doesn't spark joy." My mind was already preemptively wondering whether it was going to be 2 or 3 stars, and I didn't want to read 200 more pages to decide.
The ambience was good, but all the characters were all very flat, and the plot felt random. Maybe if I knew or cared much about Turkish muslim/secular conflict.

Nice.
(yes, I am doing a side-by-side read in English and Turkish, because reading the literary Turkish of this novel is not exactly like watching Sihirli Annem...)

Wasn't really feeling anything was reading, so decided to go with something that won't count for next Bingo. Good so far
