The Flea Palace

Summary: When it is perfect
Review: First of all I have to indicate that I am Turkish, and I read the Turkish version of the book so I apologize to everyone who is looking for an objective view.
For me reading the Flea Palace "Bit Palas" was like a great gift that I didn't expect to get. There are not a lot of Turkish writers that uses Turkish that fluent and in harmony. I found myself amazed with her capability of using Turkish to the limit of perfection, giving each and every word their justice.
About the plot and the characters, Elif Safak at her best. She creates a whole apartment with different voices (one in first person point of view, the others third person point of view), and again her talent shows us that the story continues on flowing even though the shifts on those different characters get crazier as the plot thickens.
As I have indicated I cannot be objective about this book, come to think of I cannot be objective about any of her books. Looking forward to read 'The Saint of Incipient Insanities", her first English novel.
