10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World by Elif Shafak

Wish I would have discovered her work earlier. While she has a newer book (and many older ones), this really stood out. I love that it takes place in a bustling city (Istanbul); blends together old and new ways of thinking and is a fascinating evaluation of friendship and loyalty. One question the book tries to answer is “Who will remember me after I’m gone?” and, while the deceased will never know, it is a wonderful question to ponder.
