A beautifully written semi-autobiography about inner struggles, personal growth and Elif’s experiences with maturing on her own pace and turn regardless of her gender and societal pressure to hurry up with the process.

About her inner conflicts with The Choir of Discordant Voices on sacrificing motherhood for excelling at her career or vise versa, not resorting to people, but to books and the voices of previous authors (women if you must know) and their experiences from their works or their diaries, and how she found her way.

An amazing read overall! You see a lot of the characters and events from her books later on that pay homage to her personal path and experiences mentioned in this beautiful work of art.
