10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World

I had never heard of Elif Shafak until this book popped up in my recommendations and now I'm a little irked that it took so long for her work to come to my attention because that was some seriously good writing and I already want more of it.

The characters were fantastic, the story was at times stunningly beautiful and at other times heart breaking. It's listed as being historical fiction with literary fiction as a subgenre but I think this one might appeal more to the literary fiction peeps.
