Publisher's summary

Birds Without Wings tells of the inhabitants of a small coastal town in South West Anatolia in the dying days of the Ottoman empire: the local Potter and fount of proverbial wisdom; a Christian girl of legendary beauty; childhood friends who play in the hills above the town, and the two holy men of different faiths, who greet each other with the words 'infidel efendi'.

Overly verbose, too tedious to finish

I think I would have liked this if the same plot had been condensed down to half the length. I keep zoning out while listening and am going to give up with 3 hours to go.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
