Istanbul: A Tale of Three Cities

Review:
So the opinionatedness of the book is phenomenological rather than ideological. So for example, even though it is a history by a woman who openly emphasizes the role of women in the story, it doesn’t read like a feminist

Here's what I know about Istanbul:
— Stay out of the taxis
— Try the doner kebab
— Apple tea is terrific
— The stray cats are all friendly panhandlers
