Three Daughters of Eve by Elif Shafak
5.0
I'm so glad I read this novel. I think it was really important for me given the current state of mind I was in when I read it.
"There's something about love that resembles faith. It's a kind of blind trust, isn't it? The sweetest euphoria. The magic of connecting with a being beyond our limited, familiar selves. But if we get away by love - or by our faith - it turns into a dogma, a fixation. The sweetness becomes sour. We suffer in the hands of the gods that we ourselves created."
