ストーリー
Poet Ocean Vuong’s debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, a first love, and the redemptive power of storytelling. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late 20s, the letter unearths a family’s history that began before he was born - a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam - and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation.

A Gentleman in Moscow immerses us in an elegantly drawn era with the story of Count Alexander Rostov. When, in 1922, he is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, the count is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel's doors.

あらすじ・解説
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2019
Brought to you by Penguin.
'In the first minute following her death, Leila's consciousness began to ebb, slowly and steadily, like a tide receding from the shore. Her brain cells, having run out of blood, were now completely deprived of oxygen. But they did not shut down. Not right away....'
Our brains stay active for 10 minutes after our heart stops beating. For Leila, each minute brings with it a new memory: growing up with her father and his wives in a grand old house in a quiet Turkish town; watching the women gossip and wax their legs while the men went to mosque; sneaking cigarettes and Western magazines on her way home from school; running away to Istanbul to escape an unwelcome marriage; falling in love with a student who seeks shelter from a riot in the brothel where she works.
Most importantly, each memory reminds Leila of the five friends she met along the way - friends who are now desperately trying to find her....

To the women of Istanbul and the city of Istanbul
As Shafak herself says, read stories written by women. You'll know when you read it. Highly recommended.

I keep listening and re-listening!
I am breathless. I have been a fan of Elif Shafak for long, and clearly that's not about to change any time soon. You should buy this. It's worth every dollar! The reading is perfect, the story a sad nectar, and the writing is plainly gorgeous.

Simply outstanding
This book describes Leila and her life in the last 10 minutes 38 seconds, whilst her brain is finally shutting down, after she is murdered, by just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The descriptions of Istanbul are so full and exotic that you feel immersed in its culture and rhythms. Leila is a nice gentle soul who has had a bit of a poor start in life mainly due to being a girl born into a Muslim family. She made a few poor decisions along the way like we all do, but had to bear the consequences in ways most of us do not. As I mentioned earlier the descriptive narrative of this book is wonderful, some parts are like a diarrhea of adjectives, but not in a way that is trying too hard or spoiling anything the story This book tackles the serious topic of dying, the short but bitter sweet life of Leila, those she comes into contact with who shape her life and theirs with a sensitivity that makes you feel many emotions. However it was the last part of the book that switched the tempo into, I can only say comical proportions and had me giggling like a school girl. I did not think a book so literary in parts could do that, but it did. First class narration by Alix Dunmore to make this a truly 5 star book

Life of strangers in a strange world
this book depicts the life of outcasts, outposts from their own society. Life to outcasts is significantly more challenging c compared to people who seem to fit in in everyday; hence outcasts find comfort in other outcasts. This book describes the beautiful friendship of people who found it difficult to fit in in their society, and the kind of life they had to live as a consequent to this. Whilst listening to this book, every single character became a friend of mine, I found myself as an observer who wanted to be a part of this story. The story is captivating, the characters true to real life, and the detail in descriptions mesmerising.

Istanbul life
Joy and tragedy interspersed with views of the Bosphorus . For me a helter skelter ride of emotional intensity and bitter truth read perfectly by someone who must have witnessed the events described.

Severely underwhelming
(1) I really wanted to like this book but unfortunately it was shocking to find it on the Booker prize long list now that I’ve read it. I feel like Elif Shafak’s success in recognition arenas is a byproduct of success from earlier and better stories she’s written. Now her success is a byproduct of the idolisation culture that plagues celebrities including in the writer sphere. (2) I did like the construct of the story with the concept that a human brain still has activity 10 minutes after death and there were some moving parts to this story but overall it fell flat for me. (3) The author is known to be an activist for minority rights. This is all well and good but it felt like she’d written this book with a checklist of all minorities that are “on trend” these days. Let’s throw in a transgender, a homosexual, child abuse, obesity, refugee, Marxist ideological young man, disabilities, prostitution, depression. It’s very cliché and the stories of the minorities are connected in a very inauthentic way. It just doesn’t come across believable or smooth. (4) The author’s secularism and disdain for Turkish conservatism and Islam is also apparent in the book in spades. I also found this off-putting and felt it demonstrated an insincerity in how she used her characters to put forth her ideologies. It was very difficult to separate author from characters in her book despite her desperation to constantly argue otherwise in media. (5) The ending really drags on. Forgettable shallow characters, unfortunately nothing properly lifts off in this novel and you are left wanting (not more).

Tragic and heartwarming in equal measure
It’s a tale of human cruelty, the perverse nature of religion driven harm but most of all a story of friendship and kindness that can overcome. Loved every minute of it.

Brilliant story
So sad to have finished this book ,it was amazing . A tale of friendship at it’s best and the story of a woman ,Leila who we get to know in flashbacks after her death . It is lyrical and poignant with some comedic turns . Finally I have to mention the excellent narration which capped it all off wonderfully .A must read .

Beautifully read, this was a wonderful picture of life for the common social outliers of Istanbul. Kinda dreamy to begin with, as the rhythm of introductions emerged, I was hooked. One of the best Audible books I've purchased.

Sorrowfully beautiful and captivating - difficult at times due to the subject-matter, but highly worthwhile and illuminating.
