## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Amazing & very enjoyable read....
  

*by B***G on Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2014*

I was not sure what to expect when I first opened the book, but was very quickly mesmerized by the story and eager to learn how it would unravel. The author has done a very clever job in combining current events that most people have become familiar with in the recent years (such as economic crisis, distressed companies, politics and exploitative investment mentality) in the context of actual events that occurred 100 years ago. The whole situation is brought alive with lively characters and series of events where we follow an ambitious young man that is sent to Turkey to save the distressed family business in Hungary. Local events in Turkey as well as significant geopolitical events in Europe affect how these matters eventually develop. The way the author conveys the story, allows you to experience the emotional "roller coaster" ride that the main character in particular goes through during a period of several years. I actually wanted the story to continue after I finished and look forward reading more from the author, Charles Thoma. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in world affairs, entrepreneurship, history and WWI.

    why would they do this?
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2013*

Like Denise, I was looking forward to the book, then found every page printed with the large watermark "Authorhouse". Since I'm going to be spending next week studying Turkey -  which is why I thought an historical novel would be good to read this week - I'm going to try to get through it, but it is irritating. Unfortunately, I hadn't read down to her review when I ordered it. The first few reviews sounded fine. Sounds like there are some copies that are clean and some with this dumb watermark.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great Novel
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2013*

I've just closed the book, and can't describe how much I enjoyed the couple of weeks I spent reading it. I am from Smryna, and I like reading about the history of the city/region a lot. Though fiction, this in particular was one of those most informative and equally 'entertaining' books I've ever read, although the content is far from being... entertaining. Buy it if you're into late Ottoman - early modern Turkish history, European political history circa World War I, and if you like thinking about emerging nation-states, dissolving empires, cosmopolitanism, modernity and even gender equality (and of course literature!)
