Bernieres is an amazing writer. He obviously did a great deal of research before writing this amazing book that takes place in Türkiye, during the times of the great war. People of different religious and ethnic backgrounds (Turks, Greeks, Armenians and Jews) live peacefully in a small town in Anatolia until they end up being victims of war. I rate this book number one, among all books I listened in Storytel. Christopher Kay is a very successful narrator. AFTER LISTENING 3/4th OF THIS BOOK, WITH A REASON UNKNOWN TO ME, IT WAS DELETED FROM MY LIBRARY. I WAS SO ATTACHED TO THIS BOOK THAT I PURCHASED A COSTLY COPY FROM “RAKUTEN KOBO” AND COMPLETED LISTENING. MEANWHILE, I MADE SURE MR. KAY IS STILL THE NARRATOR OF MY PURCHASED BOOK. MR. KAY IS AN AMAZING NARRATOR. I WILL SEEK OTHER NARRATIONS OF THIS TALANTED GENTLEMAN.
