The Anthropologists is a book that readers will love or one that readers will detest. Aysegül Savas' writing style in the novel is very unusual. The story of Asya and Manu is told by Asya in a very perfunctory fashion. There are few descriptive words used other than when talking about the park or, sparingly, a handful of other characters. This is why some readers will find it lacking. To me, it is astounding that the author is able to convey so much emotion without describing the characters' feelings. There is such loneliness, sorrow, and longing throughout the book. Asya and Manu strive to become the adults they feel they should be, while each is far from their different home countries. This is a review that I, too, will write frugally. Aysegül Savas has penned a surprising and stunning story.
Thank you to NetGalley and Bloomsbury Publishing. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book provided by the publisher, Bloomsbury Publishing, via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

It's short. Its prose is spare and functional. It features almost no particulars: no last names, no place names, a nameless narrator. Oh, no, it's an example of modern European fiction! But that isn't to say that "White on White" is a bad novel, even though I suspect that it won't be many readers' cup of tea. Given the sort of book that it is, it probably won't surprise you to learn that this one is unlikely to get anyone emotionally involved. Still, what it lacks in immediacy it makes up for in structural rigor. Whether you'll enjoy reading "White or White" is a matter of taste, but it is, at the very least, well-executed. It's themes are admirably consistent: careful readers will be able to identify images and metaphors that evoke containment, limits, and empty space throughout the text. That's fitting: the novel's characters lead lives that are productive and comfortable, but whether they're happy or fulfilled is another question entirely. The book's ending, which is both cruel and shocking, asks us to examine to examine that question and will likely leave many readers feeling jarred. Is this an enjoyable or fun book? I don't think most people would call it that. But "White on White" might just be a good book, and for some readers, that's all that really counts.… (mer)

Once again, the first book of this author I have read, and I liked it. A non-romantic relationship between 2 women evolves in a disquieting manner. The book is brief; I read it in 3 hours and did not want to put it down.

I might re-read this at a later time, but it required way too much attention to piece things together. Plus, it was just too mundane for me right now.
