This is the review of the book three daughters of Eve by Elif Shafak. The novel gets shot in modern-day means in 2016, Istanbul. Peri a wealthy housewife and a mother with her daughter Deniz are on her way to a dinner party at a seaside mansion.
During traffic, a beggar steals her handbag. When she tried to get the bag a photograph of Oxford University falls down from her wallet. The photograph was of three girls named Mona, Shirin, and Peri and a professor of the university” professor Azur”.
The photograph took Peri to her old days at Oxford University which she wanted to forget. At that time she was at the age of nineteen. She remembered her two friends with whom she stayed in the same house. Shirin was wearing short skirts, high heels, and heavy makeup and was with Mona, a religious believer, and a hijab-wearing devout Muslim feminist.
Besides, the three of them were the student of professor Azur, whose class on God’s beliefs was totally unaccepted by some students while some even worshipped him. Azur gave an impressive and open-minded thought to his students. The three of them were Azur’s best students. The two Mona and Shirin used to light the concept of God. But Peri never fought with them.
Shirin was more sincere as compared to Peri and Mona. When Peri was at Oxford she always thoughts about Azur and his seminar. Azur also was close to them and he was too close to Shirin. Troy the lover of Shirin could not bear this and said to Peri that Azur and Shirin’s affair is going on. She and Azur spent their time together without the seminar moreover; he said that Azur has a keen interest to have girls with him.
This novel contains many characters. But the important characters are seven. They are
1. Peri: the main role of the confused one always stuck whether God exists or not, she grew up in Istanbul in the 1980s.
When she listened to these words, she was totally destroyed. All the days she thought about that. And at night she committed suicide. But luckily she was all right. And the chemical put an adverse effect on her and she was not able to talk the next day. Troy gave a complaint to the principal of Oxford University about Azur. The principal called Azur and said that Peri had committed suicide owing to you.
Azure was shocked to hear that Peri had tried to commit suicide. And the principal said to Azur till Peri will not be fully fine, they should not attend classes. Because we will see if Peri had committed suicide to die, you will be resigned if not then you can attend your classes again.
Furthermore, when Peri was all right, she was discharged from the hospital. The committee of Oxford University called her. When she went there Shirin and Mona were already present there. After a while also Azur approached there. Again she started thinking about Azur. She felt ashamed of this troubling activity. She could not see Azur. She was totally broken into pieces. This time she hated herself. She could not stand there she ran away without saying anything. And she left Oxford University forever and went to Istanbul.
To put it in another way, she did not say anything that’s why Azur was resigned. Certainly, when Peri was at a party in Istanbul in 2016 she was missing Oxford University. She finds out Shirin’s number and called her. Shirin was so amazed to talk to Peri on phone. Shirin said to Peri that it was her civic duty to say sorry to Azur. Then Shirin gave Azur contact to Peri to talk with him. Peri called Azur when Azur said Hello Peri was out of her soul as if she got her life. At first, she did not say anything after a moment then she spoke to him after fourteen years. Azur was happy to talk with her. And peri happiness was as extreme as one can not imagine. Peri felt sorry and was confused. And peri talked to him as a professor meant she told a story of the student.
Peri was relaxed to talking with Azur. Here talking was continued that the mobile gale switches off due to low battery.
