What I'm reading + NOTD pt. 104


Blauschmuck by Katharina Winkler is not translated into English, so if I translate the title loosely it could be something like "blue accessory". Katharina Winkler is an Austrian writer and her book Blauschmuck was very well received and has also got several awards. In the beginning it says that the book is based on a true story. 

Filiz grows up in a Kurdish village in Turkey. She is twelve when she falls in love with Yunus, who is a few years his senior, and dreams of a life together in the West: "'How do we want to live, Yunus?' / 'In jeans, we'll wear denim pants in Germany.' "At 15, she marries Yunus - secretly and against the will of her father. But with the wedding also the dreams of freedom and autonomy burst: instead of jeans Filiz now wears burka; Together with the three children born in this marriage, she is exposed to the physical and mental brutality of her husband and mother-in-law. The family's emigration to the West does not change that either - for the time being. 

The hate I have for Yunus, a truly despicable man, and if you think this is a true story... 


The nail polish is from Essence, from a limited edition called Snow White. The big nail polish was red with the name snow White and there were also seven smaller nail polishes, meant to be dwarfs. Mine is called Grumpy, and it's a beautiful vibrant blue colour. The application is not the easiest but is manageable. 


Have a great day!
