Geç Kalmış Aşk - Cathy Maxwell
A thorough account of the military invasion from one of the world's leading military historians. Perhaps too much detail for the lay person, even if it is described in non-technical terms. My personal preference would have been for more political and historical analysis. I probably should have realised it was a military history first and foremost, and thus not really my cup of tea. More coverage of the insurgency aftermath and the tactical mistakes undertaken during the occupation is sorely needed but perhaps that will come in a later book.

I give props to Jane Austen for doing what she did in the time that she did it. However, this was not the amazing book I was led to believe. I guess no one ever told me why it was amazing, so maybe I shouldn't have expected it to be the writing. The story was good once I got 160 pages in and only because the characters started showing emotion and interacting with each other in a three-dimensional way. There was a whole lot of telling, some dialogue that was alluded to, some dialogue that was actually written out (and when it was, I loved it--good job, Jane), and no sense of what anything looked like or how things were physically playing out. But once I got around page 160 I enjoyed it a lot more. And it gave me a lot of insight into the story that I had only known from movies.
