If you feel like you want to be sad just a little bit: please read this book. It's a tale of a turkish man that fell in love with an artist in berlin and after that nothing else in life mattered anymore. He really poured his heart and his soul into this friendship after only seeing a painted portrait of her in an art gallery, because he was so captivated by it. A beautifully written story about two young people, missed hopes and no second chances. Sabahattin Ali definitely wrote himself into the readers heart, leaving a mark wherever his novel made them cry.

whatever dostojewski tried with white nights, sabahattin ali mastered in madonna in a fur coat. the type of yearning that turns into an unhealthy obsession and ends up haunting you for every next step of your life. it was an amazing read but imo not worth 10/10 points but still very close!
