Helpful Score: 2
I really enjoyed this book. Not only is it lyrical and allegorical, it is a great glimpse into Turkish culture. Also a glimpse into the heart of a terrorist and religious fanatic. How do people cope in a totalitarian society? "The silence of snow" which covers everything and makes even the most horrible things disappear. How do people love and go on in the face of horrible oppression? Who is truly corrupted? How do human frailties get forgiven by themselves and by others? Raises many questions and looks at them through a non-Western lens.
