🎯Worthwhile
The story of two families - Armenian and Turkish - linked by the historical bond of a genocide, set in a very vivid, pulsating Istanbul. Well-written, deftly drawn character studies, an
absorbing plot. One reservation but no spoilers...the resolution left me unconvinced.

Not so in Istanbul though. Rain, for us, isn't necessarily about getting wet. It's not about getting dirty even. If anything, it's about getting angry. It's mud and chaos and rage, as if we didn't have enough of each already. And struggle. It's always about struggle.

the indifference deep underneath had just whispered to her not to mind other people’s opinions since they would make no difference at the end of the day.
