Reviews

"Holbrook's precise and competent poetic translation lets readers discover and enjoy classical Turkish literature and Islamic mysticism." The International Fiction Review

"Holbrook's brilliant translation of the greatest Turkish romance brings Galip's dramatic imagery alive while making ingenious use of Ottoman meter for the first time in English. Her introduction is the finest brief treatment of Islamic mysticism in existence. Her profound knowledge of Sufism clarifies the philosophical vocabulary of the tale, and her modernized spelling of the text breaks with transliteration tradition to make the work accessible to all readers of Turkish." --Orhan Pamuk
