Turquoise

This book was provided to me, by the author, in paperback in exchange for an honest review.

A great story of a great love that can not be united between 2 lovers due to distance and circumstance.

Based around Yasmin and Renan, when they meet Renan is married with a child and Yasmin can only dream about what life would be like with Renan. As time goes on and Yasmin marries, they face new challenges in their parallel and crossed over lives.

Yasmin and her Armenian classmate Ani were oblivious to ethnic differences during their school years in Istanbul.
A few years on, Yasmin's diplomat father is appointed as the Turkish Consul General to Los Angeles where the family faces a devastating tragedy that will impact their lives in ways unfathomable.

Alot of the story is based around ethnic and cultural differences among the characters of the story. I find that this really makes you think more about how different we all are and question how we treat others.

I enjoyed the love story and the pressures and challenges that Yasmin and her family face.

I rate this story 3/5 stars
