✨THREE DAUGHTERS OF EVE✨ This is a story about identity, politics, religion, women and God. It is the story of Peri, a young Turkish woman who grows up observing the clash between her father's lonely secularism and her mother's Islamic religiosity. Peri earns a scholarship from Oxford University and arrives in England. She becomes friends with the charming Shirin, an atheist Iranian girl, and Mona, a headscarved Egyptian-American. It is an unlikely friendship among three very different girls from Muslim backgrounds. Shirin, “the sinner”, Mona, “the believer”, and Peri, “the Confused.”   Peri's life changes dramatically when she meets the charismatic but controversial Professor Azur who teaches about God. Peri falls in love but it is a love that will only bring an unexpected twist and a dark secret that she will have to carry for many years to come. By observing Peri's life in contemporary Istanbul, Shafak takes a close look at Turkey today and reveals the problems that Turkish society hides within. This courageous, rich and ambitious novel resonates with many readers all around the world and raise important discussions. 📚 CR🦋 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #threedaughtersofeve #elifshafak #fortyrulesoflove #turkey #bookstagram #books #bookphotography #bookstagrammer #booklover #bookworm #bookrecommendations #readersofinstagram #readers #vintage #darkacademia #enchanted #photography #instagood #aestheticphotography #aesthetic #capture #thekoizoragirl #koizora #skyoflove #writerscommunity #novels #loveyourself #tumblrgirl #literature #euphoria (at Gujrat- Hometown) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDnkH9oJ4lz/?igshid=s0i57qr5z7bj

Finally! I've been looking forward to reading Elif Shafak's Three Daughters of Eve for months now! 😍 ___________ Q: have you read it yet? And what are you currently reading? _____________ Synopsis: "Set across Istanbul and Oxford, from the 1980s to the present day, Three Daughters of Eve is a sweeping tale of faith and friendship, tradition and modernity, love and an unexpected betrayal. Peri, a wealthy Turkish housewife, is on her way to a dinner party at a seaside mansion in Istanbul when a beggar snatches her handbag. As she wrestles to get it back, a photograph falls to the ground—an old polaroid of three young women and their university professor. A relic from a past—and a love—Peri had tried desperately to forget. The photograph takes Peri back to Oxford University, as an eighteen year old sent abroad for the first time. To her dazzling, rebellious Professor and his life-changing course on God. To her home with her two best friends, Shirin and Mona, and their arguments about Islam and femininity. And finally, to the scandal that tore them all apart. Shirin, Peri and Mona: they were the most unlikely of friends. They were the Sinner, the Believer and the Confused." _____________ #elifshafak #threedaughtersofeve #currentlyreading #🕌 #🌺 #🌵 #🇩🇿 #🇹🇷 (at Annaba, Algeria)
