"'Mystery,' I heard in my thoughts, or perhaps, 'mercy,' but I wasn't certain of either."
Can any #Turkish readers tell me the words used in the original, & their literal translation?
* Not impressed with Faber & Faber for burying this name on an inside page

I still believe this and have written some fairly incoherent pieces about it at my blog. Snow is independently of that a great, great book and I recommend it highly.
