Write a reviewIn the novel provided, the world building is centered around the Al-Taajir family, a wealthy and influential group in Turkey. The family is described as traditional and the dynamics within the family are characterized by a hierarchy, with the father, Jalaludeen II, holding the highest power. The setting of the story is primarily in Ankara, Turkey, and the culture of the region is portrayed through the actions and beliefs of the characters. The main character, Aabid, is the son of Jalaludeen II and is resistant to the arranged marriage proposal made by his father. Aabid is depicted as stubborn and headstrong, as he refuses to comply with his father's wishes and instead, expresses his desire to marry his long-time girlfriend, Violet. Aabid's relationship with his father is strained, with his father being strict and expecting obedience from his children. This is evident in their conversation, where Jalaludeen II tells Aabid, "You must not want it! It's your need, Aabid." Other characters in the novel include Farhan, Aabid's close friend, and Ma'Naima, Aabid's mother. Farhan is supportive of Aabid's decision to marry Violet and tries to encourage him to stand up for what he wants. Ma'Naima, on the other hand, tries to persuade Aabid to accept the arranged marriage proposal, stating, "Aabid, you know you're wasting your time bringing this girl's issue to your father..." One aspect of the novel that could be improved is the development of the secondary characters. While Ma'Naima and Farhan play important roles in the story, they are not fully fleshed out and their motivations and actions are not fully explored. In addition, the character of Saliha, the woman proposed for the arranged marriage, is barely mentioned in the novel, making it difficult to understand her perspective and role in the story. Again this is based on the first 5 chapters. Overall, the novel provides an interesting insight into the dynamics of a traditional family and the conflicts that can arise when traditional values clash with personal desires. However, the development of the secondary characters and the inclusion of more diverse perspectives could enhance the depth and complexity of the story.

An interesting book I must mention. I like how slowly we travel in their world: there's no rushing and the characters are taking their time to make decisions. However, I would love fast updates if possible And translations of some traditional foods. Although the writer has done that in some chapters. I have noticed its also a a book containing characters of diverse cultural backgrounds. I am learning alot. 😃 More grease to your elbow.
