Description

Interesting novel set in Turkey and covering the end of the Ottoman Empire and the rise of the Young Turks and Ataturk.Ann Bridge has written a number of novels set in interesting locations, which she knew as the wife of a diplomat and which she describes well. Although the social ambiance of her early works (1930's) may reflect the attitudes of that time, those set in later periods display characters with an appalling assumption of social superiority and of patronising condescension that seems totally inappropriate in the modern world, and which make the stories seem rather too dated in style.
