Praise for Silent House

Pamuk captures family tensions and its many voices beautifully.

Herald Sun

Pamuk's characters take hold of their stories with gentle insistence, prying them out of the hands of the political, the epic, and preserving them instead as gleaming, vividly personal fragments.

The Monthly

The word 'genius' escapes the lips, if only in recognition of Pamuk's age when it was published. His second novel!

Weekend Australian

An extraordinary study of family dynamics and political fallout.

Good Reading

He writes with an effortless authority, and deeply literate sophistications.

Peter Craven, The Age

Not only an engrossing feat of tale-spinning, but essential reading for our times.

Margaret Atwood, New York Times Book Review

To read Pamuk is to be converted to the cult of the book.

Jonathan Levi, LA Times Book Review
