There are many characters from the same family in the book and you get to know who they are.
The books starts with Iskender being released from prison and his sister Esma waiting for him but the next chapter goes back to when their mother was born and how her mother behaved when she had twin girls. She needed to have a son.
The chapters of the book were confusing to start with as they kept jumping from one person to another and went back and forward in the years but this is completely relevant to the story.
It was an interesting read as I have not experienced Kurd/Turkish culture and I know little about Muslims, their traditions and beliefs.
The book was well written and I enjoyed reading it.
