Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) was an immediate success and garnered even more enthusiastic reviews than its predecessor.

Following in the wake of the magnificent and heart-wrenching The Museum of Innocence, Silent House is actually Pamuk’s second novel. Yet it will not disappoint his ardent fans, such as myself.
