إنها إليف شافاق كما عهدتها دوما مميزة تعد (( شرف )) ثالث روايةأقرأها لاليف شافاق بعد (( قواعد العشق الاربعون)) (( لقيطة استانبول))ولم تخيب ظني كعادتهارواية شيقة عميقة السرد مميز جدا ترابط وترتيب الاحداث والشخصيات الانتقال الرشيق بين الازمنة والاماكن المختلفة تعدد الشخصيات الذي يثري الرواية بدون أن يشتت القارئ تنوع رائع وثري في الثقافات المختلفة للبلدان والشخصيات عندما تقرأ لاليف يصعب عليك اغلاق الرواية قبل نهايتهاو كالعادة يصعب عليك توقع النهاية كما تفأجانا بها أليف And she does it again .. Elif Shafak , I bow to your majesty .. For you are not a human being but something out of this world .. Once again I am astonished , lying on my bed in my dim room hugging Honour with wide blurry eyes .. Staring at my pink wall .. Refusing to understand what had just happened! I had to take breaks getting closer to the end .. It was just too much for me and I , although dying to know what happens next , paused , I knew it was ending and I did not want to let go of this treasure .. Elif Shafak .. Thank you. Honour teaches you a lot , helps you understand misery and happiness and how they can both be one at times .. How one person's death is not restricted to him only , how people are diverse and beautiful .. It teaches how beautifully people can divert .. and if you take an extra minute to look at them , your can free your mind and ease your heart from all the negativity. Give excuses , always , always .. and understand, absorb, Because after all , we are all headed in one direction , to Him. He knows. He cares. He loves you. "Since time immemorial the natives of Mesopotamia had called diamonds ‘The Tears of Gods.’ They believed they were made of the dust that fell from the stars above or from splinters that broke off from lightning bolts on stormy nights. Jamila had even heard some say that they were the crystallized drops of sweat shed every spring when Mother Earth and Father Sky made love. Wild imagination! People let their thoughts run amok when they came across things over which they had little control, as if by inventing stories they could make sense of all that was painfully confusing, including their brief stay in this world."
