Summary
Peri, a wealthy Turkish housewife, is on her way to a dinner party at a seaside mansion in Istanbul when a beggar snatches her handbag. As she wrestles to get it back, a photograph falls to the ground - an old Polaroid of three young women and their university professor. A relic from a past - and a love - Peri had tried desperately to forget. The photograph takes Peri back to Oxford University, as an 18-year-old sent abroad for the first time and to her dazzling, rebellious professor and his life-changing course on God. It also takes her to her home with her two best friends, Shirin and Mona, and their arguments about Islam and femininity and, finally, to the scandal that tore them all apart.

Simply wonderful.
Loved the structure, moving from the present to various points in protagonist's past. Full of tension, but also beautiful reflections on happiness, love, religious faith, learning. Beautifully narrated too!

heavy read but worth it
i want to say i enjoyed it but its probably a wrong word for it its a great book. very multidimensional. quite skillfully written. very thought provoking. sad story and it doesn't get any happier as you go on. very well written social commentary with strong theological and philosophical approach.

Incredible
Outstanding, what else can I say. This story is told with such wisdom and intelligence that you can't help but question everything, yet understand all. The performance of the voice actor was also fantastic, great nuance and distinguishable voice changes for characters which really helped me to feel immersed in the story. I can't recommend enough.

Another wonderful story.
I really enjoyed this story, the ending for me was disappointing. i guess it's one to discuss- and maybe that was the reason behind it.
Well written.

Very disappointed.
The book never seemed to get going and then came to a very abrupt end. The narrator was very easy on the ear with excellent accents.

Brilliant Listen
I heard the author being interviewed on television. I had never heard of her but she sounded intriguing, so I thought I would give one of her books a try. I decided on Three Daughters of Eve and it certainly did not disappoint. I recommend it wholeheartedly.
