Recenzje

'Fatih Akin says of Selim Özdogan's new novel: "If everyone read this book, the world would be a better place - more considerate, more liveable, more tolerant." Believe him!' Brigitte magazine 'It has epic simplicity. Özdogan's language is plain, but it carries with it the author's sympathy with his characters, including the contradictory ones.' Süddeutsche Zeitung 'The book's muted poetry all the way to its quiet ending warms the soul like later summer wind gently stroking through hair.' Sächsische Zeitung 'The novel enchants its readers with the sincerity and love with which it assesses the weight of the simple things in life.' Fachdienst Germanistik 'A mature, light, wise book' kreuzer magazine
