Museum of Innocence is Orhan Pamuk's most passionate and compulsively readable novel to date. Kemal and Fusun's story takes place at the intersection of East and West, wealth and poverty. As Kemal recounts the loss of Fusun and his struggle to transcend Turkish social constraints in hopes of reclaiming his love, his undying obsession is made manifest in the museum that he erects to the memory of their impulsive and ultimately destructive desire. ~ Reviewed by Cheryl Cornwell
