The Architect's Apprentice: A Mesmerising Historical Fiction of Art, Ambition, and Destiny in the Ottoman Empire by Elif Shafak Paperback – 23 April 2015

Good quality and good packaging

Love this author's books, this one was my first of Elif Shafak's book. I really like the story plot although towards the end it is kinda dragging. If u like architecture, n the whole turkish vibe in stories of olden times, u'll definitely love it.

After reading 40 rules of love , I actually fell in love with her writing style... almost read all her books. This one’s Elif Shafak’s epic ninth novel which commemorates another great Ottoman art form, architecture, in a narrative sprawling across most of a century (1546-1632).This edifying, emotionally forceful novel shows how hate and envy destroy, and how love might build the world anew.

Excellent one

A good novel to read but excessively descriptive and building secrets as the story unfolds which all at last discloses itself in one go as a house of card shatters but still give it a chance✌

Very well written book nicely connecting the dots of Ottoman and Turkish history. She has a nice writing style that somehow makes the story livelier and I enjoyed reading it over a couple of weeks

I like all the novels I have read by Elif Shafak. I like her narrative techniques, lyrical language and diversity of characters and viewpoints.

The book is delivered torn.
