“The Red Haired Woman” by Orhan Pamuk

 When reading this book, I mostly thought it was a decently written but uninspiring story with the clear voice of a Turkish intellectual. But the final section, which shifted to the point of view of the red haired woman, makes this book a work of art. Its themes are fathers and sons murdering each other, Oedipus etc etc. And of course, the role of women.
