The “Bastard of Istanbul’ of a Turkish author Elif Shafah– my favourite reading

I devoured this book! Now I understand why Turkey banned it for insulting Turkish Identity. The memories and pains of the Armenian genocide and how Turks do not recognize it but the Armenians struggle to have it recognized are very straightforward.
But on to of that an amazing story of very common, but also complicated life stories. Amazing
