I read it, but I am not so enthusiastic about it as all the reviews I have read.

It reads quickly, just like a soap, but the problem that it tries to cover (Armenian problem, inter-cultural relations, origins), stays pretty superficial. Any of us who has the talent of writing, could write this too after making just a little research into the problematics. I dont think it adds anything to the genre.

Its really nice to read, it reads quickly and the story is fun, but it does not have the deepness I expected it to have after reading the reviews.

I did not read any of her writings.

The bastard book (I think the name is Father and Bastard) was staying on my mother's shelf when I decided to randomly open a page and glance. It was my luck that my mother called me one hour later. I couldnt simply stop myself readin it. I think the novel was well written and topic was interesting.

No. book stays on the shelf, and I didnt read it. One of my friends recommended me to read some other books of her first. (Pinhan ans ome other books)
