From the acclaimed author of The Bastard of Istanbul, a colorful, magical tale set during the height of the Ottoman Empire

In her latest novel, Turkey's preeminent female writer spins an epic tale spanning nearly a century in the life of the Ottoman Empire. In 1540, twelve-year-old Jahan arrives in Istanbul. As an animal tamer in the sultan's menagerie, he looks after the exceptionally smart elephant Chota and befriends (and falls for) the sultan's beautiful daughter, Princess Mihrimah. A palace education leads Jahan to Mimar Sinan, the empire's chief architect, who takes Jahan under his wing as they construct (with Chota's help) some of the most magnificent buildings in history. Yet even as they build Sinan's triumphant masterpieces--the incredible Suleymaniye and Selimiye mosques--dangerous undercurrents begin to emerge, with jealousy erupting among Sinan's four apprentices.

A memorable story of artistic freedom, creativity, and the clash between science and fundamentalism, Shafak's intricate novel brims with vibrant characters, intriguing adventure, and the lavish backdrop of the Ottoman court, where love and loyalty are no match for raw power.

Perfect Size For Home Frothing
I put this to use right away when it came! Cold and windy day called for hot chocolate and steamed milk. I love the measurements and it is easy to clean. I’m going to try my hand at some designs with the included nice double-ended spoon at some point! 12 ounces is big enough for a latte or cappuccino. It is also small enough that I keep it on my espresso machine when I’m not using it! I find that when you’re steaming that the milk sprays out a bit, but admittedly that could just be me lack of steaming skills! 😉

8oz Size Perfect for Small Amounts of Milk
Size: 6.8oz/200ml Silver
This is a quality pitcher with a nice weight to it. I only use 80ml of milk in my cappuccinos and had trouble getting a good microfoam when using a larger pitcher. This little 8oz pitcher is the perfect size and makes it easier to achieve microfoam. The only potential issue I see is the pitcher may overflow if using more than 80ml although this may be due to my technique.

Pretty and functional
Size: 6.8oz/200ml Matte Black
I really liked the size and functionality of this milk pitcher, it’s really elegant looking as well. I use it for when I want to make an iced coffee that I need to mix stuff with and it holds a good amount of coffee. Easy to clean and pour as well, for what I paid I think it’s worth it.
