[It is] this combination of an acutely observant ingenuousness and
a satirical worldliness that gives The Bridge of the Golden Horn
its mesmerising power and charm
*Guardian*
Ravishing... a magnetic tale that could have come out of A Thousand
and One Nights... a wonderfully refreshing book
*Morning Star*
An unusual book... by turns beautiful, infuriating, funny and
obtuse
*New Statesman*
Irrepressible... Ozdamar has been lucky with her translator. But
there is also something about the way she tells a story that would,
I think, make her words sparkle under any circumstances, and in any
tongue
*Financial Times*
Accessible and entertaining... Ozdamar has a Dickensian talent for
creating vivid portraits of ordinary people as complex and
individual... The novel reminds us that literature is a
transforming energy at the heart of life
*Independent*
Ermine Sevgi Ozdamar writes with wisdom and humor...(The Bridge of
the Golden Horn) is an appealing tale about a young immigrant who
discovers herself through politics, sex and the arts.
