adventurous challenging dark emotional funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced

This has some very challenging topics but nonetheless I really enjoyed it. I will surely reread this, it's a brilliant idea to recount Leila's life you could say flashing Infront of her eyes. It's funny and approachable. Set in the drama of Istanbul and even, of course, a cat.

Synkkää, surullista - niin kuin voi odottaa, kun tarina koostuu murhatun päähenkilön viimeisistä muistoista ennen tajunnan sammumista - mutta myös toiveikasta. Tarinatyyppi, joka on yksi suosikkejani: se, kuinka marginalisoidut, yhteiskunnan ja perheensä hylkäämät ja halveksumat löytävät toisensa ja muodostavat uuden, verisukua tärkeämmän perheen. Bonus: opin paljon Turkin lähihistoriasta ja yhteiskunnallisista ongelmista.
