"For it is a land without borders, a lover's body. You discover it, not at once, but step by anxious step, losing your way, your sense of direction, treading its sunlit valleys and rolling fields, finding it warm and welcoming, and then, hidden in quiet corners, running into caverns invisible and unexpected, pits where you stumble and cut yourself." (p.78)

In the world of this novel, you'll want to root for the living nonhumans as much as the mortals of flesh and bone. It feels like the way the world should be, and maybe, once upon a time, was. And maybe too, in some hidden and sacred places, might yet still be.

Shafak tells us that memory lives in living objects, too, not only people: that when a tree dies, so too does the memory of someone else, buried with it forever.
