About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Three Daughters of Eve by Elif Shafak, read by Alix Dunmore.

Peri, a wealthy Turkish housewife, is on her way to a dinner party at a seaside mansion in Istanbul when a beggar snatches her handbag. As she wrestles to get it back, a photograph falls to the ground - an old polaroid of three young women and their university professor. A relic from a past - and a love - Peri had tried desperately to forget.

The photograph takes Peri back to Oxford University, as an eighteen year old sent abroad for the first time. To her dazzling, rebellious Professor and his life-changing course on God. To her home with her two best friends, Shirin and Mona, and their arguments about Islam and femininity. And finally, to the scandal that tore them all apart.

Critic Reviews

Exuberant, epic and comic, fantastical and realistic . . . like all good stories it conveys deeper meanings about human experience (Financial Times on 'The Architect's Apprentice')
Vivid storytelling... that explores the darkest aspects of faith and love (Sunday Telegraph on 'Honour')
All stars

It seemed as if someone has described me and almost my story, a tear fell from my eye...as the last sentence was narrated. Thanks Elif

Not as tight and gripping as Shafak's other works, but an engaging listen nevertheless. Peri's curious confusion strikes a chord. As always, love Dunmore's narration, though the Indian accent is not anywhere near (haha)

Leaves you with questions, but that's the point!

The story is gripping mixing ancient beliefs to modern lifestyles . The conundrum of modern life of people who grew up traditional

Interesting take on modern Istanbul culture
