قبل سنوات تعرفت، من خلال إحدى المشاريع التي كنت مشرفًا عليها، على فتاة غريبة الأطوار، وحدث أننا اجتمعنا في أحد المقاهي للاتفاق على خطة سير العمل، وكانت أمامنا كؤوسًا فارغة فوق المائدة، فقامت بقلبها مبررة ذلك بأنها تخشى أن يدخلها الغبار! ومن باب إسقاط الكلفة، قلت لها ممازحًا [...]

Peri, our central character, is a native of Istanbul who has a close relationship with her secular, hard drinking father and a tense relationship with her devout Muslim mother. The novel begins as the adult Peri makes her way to an ostentatious dinner party with her sullen teenage daughter. En route they have a dangerous and potentially deadly encounter that causes Peri to reflect upon what she is capable of doing. The rest of the novel alternates between the dinner party, Peri’s childhood and [...]

Elif Shafak never fails me.Every time I read something for Elif I love her even more, I can understand why some people don't enjoy her books, you have to pay attention to the details, to the conversations not to the events, and that's why she is my favorite author <3 life is about the journey not the destination right? :PIn this amazing novel Elif tell the story of Peri, Shirin and Mona. "The sinner, the believer, the confused" Peri is a Turkish girl who was always confused about the subject [...]

رواية مُفككة، شتتت أهدافها حتى ضلت الطريق، بلا أحداث تُذكر وتستحق أن نحكي لمحة عنها، بلا فكرة واضحة في ما قرأته من ثلثيها الأولين حتى فاض بي الملل، بلا شخصيات مرسومة بإتقان، بلا أي طعم ولا فائدة، فقط أسلوب سرد جيد، ولكنه وحده لا يبني رواية، ولن يكفيني لتحمل عناء ستمائة صفحة، [...]

Gerek konusu gerek hakkındaki olumlu eleştiriler sebebiyle Havva'nın Üç Kızı'na heyecanla başladım. Sıkı bir Elif Şafak okuyucusu değilim, her kitabını okumadım henüz; ama rahat bir şekilde bu kitabın okuduğum Şafaklar içinde en iyisi olduğunu söylememin imkânı yok. Hatta belki en az tat aldığım kitabı bu oldu bile diyebilirim. Evet, kitap bir hayli sürükleyici, merakla okuyorsunuz; ama kitabı bitirdiğinizde pek çok şeyin eksik kaldığını hissediyorsunuz.

I received a copy of this book on Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review."I was always in that limbo between yes and no. No stranger to faith, no stranger to doubt"4.5*I was really happy to receive Three Daughters of Eve on Netgalley, as I'd recently read an interview with the author and thought the book sounded fascinating. It certainly lived up to expectations. The book is set both in the past and the present, focusing on Peri as a student in Oxford, and as a wealthy wife (14 years later) [...]

أنا أحب إليف كثيراً ، واعجابي بها ليس أدبياً فقط وأنما لأن رواياتها ترتبط بذكريات جميلة بالنسبة لي ، لهذا ربما اكون غالباً منحازة لها ، لكن الحق يُقال هذه الرواية ليست بالمستوى المتوقع ، ولم تتمكن إليف من تقديم شيء جديد .عندما تقرأ ما كُتب على الغلاف الخلفي وبالاضافة لعنوان ا [...]

This is a compelling tale of a woman, Peri (Nazperi), who gets shaken out of her stable, well-adjusted mode of upper-class living in contemporary Istanbul by a random mugging event and by the responses she surprises herself by making. Here’s the effective hook in the first sentence of the book:It was an ordinary spring day in Istanbul, a long and leaden afternoon like so many others, when she discovered, with a hollowness in her stomach, that she was capable of killing someone.She gets a lot o [...]

1st of February, 2018. MY REVIEW(my previous message yesterday) I finished this book late last night and had to drive 800 km today, so did not have time to review it. Review will follow. This is a though-provoking, intense book. Loved the experience.Istantbul. The city that encompassed seven hills, two continents, three seas, and fifteen millions mouths. The book opened with wealthy 35-year-old Peri (Nazperi) who discovered that she is able to kill someone during a mugging. It is the most import [...]

Now and then when you finish a book, you get that warm feeling inside, that feeling of love and gratitude for an author who has been able to draw you into the life of another person, to explore the background and thoughts of someone from a totally different culture and upbringing, in a way that can help explain and explore some of your own deep thoughts and idiosyncrasies regarding God, religion, deep cultural beliefs, the immature jealousies of our youth, uncontrollable young love and attractio [...]

Elif Shafak’s new novel reveals such a timely confluence of today’s issues that it seems almost clairvoyant. Sexual harassment, Islamist terrorism, the rising tension between the faithful and the secular, and the gaping chasm between the rich and the poor — all play out in the pages of “Three Daughters of Eve.” That hyper-relevance is one of the reasons Shafak is so popular in her native Turkey and around the world. The author, who now lives in London, speaks in a multivalent voice tha [...]

من أجمل أعمال شافاك, رواية عن المغتربين و المذبذبين و كل من هم في منزلة الـ بين-بين.

The novel opens with a confession; told in a rather offhand manner, the character suggests to us that it could have happened to anyone if the circumstances were right. Even those who had lived a 'good life' beforehand, even us. Yet the tantalising nature of this beginning is quickly undermined by the dullness of the dinner party through which the story is told. It all feels so constructed, the author is TELLING ME SOMETHING IMPORTANT. I like Elif Shafak, I think she's an important voice in moder [...]

Sadly, I didnt enjoy this one as much as I thought I would.

غالبًا ما تنتهي قراءاتي لإليف بدهشة، وتفاوت كبير في المشاعر، ولكن في “Three daughters of eve” تنتهي بحيرة وتشتت. هل مررت بالشعور الذي لا تستطيع تحديد هل وقعت في حب كتاب أم كرهته؟ هذا هو بالضبط ما أواجهه الآن. القصة استطيع القول أنها عبقرية، تستطيع ان تُسقطها على نفسك في مكان ما، تُناق� [...]

Struggling through the clogged streets of Istanbul, Peri is driving through traffic to attend yet another stifling dinner party of the elite. With her almost teenage daughter in tow, she mistakenly throws her purse to the backseat, and with unlocked doors, someone from the outside grabs her personal belongings. Peri pulls the car over and runs. She confronts the beggar, but he divulges the contents of her purse to the ground. A photo slides out. A man, and three women. The distant memory of Oxfo [...]

(3.5) My first from Shafak, and overall an absorbing story of religion versus secularism. The title trio are young women who meet as international students at Oxford, where they are all drawn to Professor Azur, a charismatic and unconventional don who teaches an infamous seminar on God. Shirin is a boisterous Iranian, while Mona is a feminist Muslim from Egypt. However, the novel’s focus is very much on Peri, from Istanbul. In the present day she’s a wife and mother on her way to a glitzy pa [...]

‏Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy this book as I thought I would.The opening lines were encouraging, but then the flow of events became lame and boring. I thought there would be something unique at the end of the book but eventually I didn’t find anything special!I liked Elif Safak in Forty Rules of Love, but here I didn’t like her at all.Sadly, I don’t recommend this book!

Henüz kitabı bitirmedim ancak zihnimi sürekli olarak düşünceler böldüğünden bir şeyler yazma ihtiyacı hissettim. Eğer bu kitap Şafak'ın değilde, yeni bir Türk yazarın olsa idi, olumlu anlamda çok fazla sayıda eleştiri alacağını düşünüyorum. Şafak'ın son yıllarda değişen yazarlığı ve sivil hayatı; eseri okurken bir çok kez eseri garipsememe sebep oldu.Düşünün, Tanrı felsefesi yapan bir kitap bu! Tam da doğulu bir kadın yazardan beklenecek, dünyada da [...]

A friend of mine who is like a brother in law to me, because he is, gave me this book. It's not really my cup of tea, opps mea culpa bro, it's well written enough so I read it. I mean, what else do you do with books anyway? It wasn't half bad. I read it and ala Jay Bauman and Mike Stoklasa from Red Letter Media, it was all right. Ah, if you are looking for one of those reviews from me then I am sorry. I hate to break it to you but people are disappointing. It's unfair. What can you do? What can [...]

It's deeply frightening and upsetting how politically divided society is at the moment. When different factions are so convinced about the certitude of their own ideas and beliefs conflict is inevitable. Religion continues to be at the centre of many battles, yet in her new novel Elif Shafak creates the character of A.Z.Azur, a controversial Oxford professor who encourages dialogue across religious belief systems as he believes that too many people suffer from what he calls “The Malady of Cert [...]

loved this book! very intelligent, interesting and well-written on subjects of great actuality and also full of wisdom in its search for knowledge, for deeper understanding of what it is to be human, to be free. an excellent narrative and interesting, multilayered characters lead the reader through the fascinating story between istanbul and oxford, from the 1980s to present time, building up and coming together beautifully in a grand finale. highly recommended.
