Three Daughters of Eve by Elif Shafak tackles many different topics including religion, or rather the meaning of God in one’s life, how cultural and political circumstances shape lives of the individuals and the position of women in Eastern and Western societies.

Different opinions on religiosity, God and culture cause constant quarrelling between young women, the protagonist’s parents and at a dinner party.

Despite all the chaos, people with opposing views still manage to develop close relationships such as friendship and even romantic relationships.
Shafak shows us that finding similarities between each other rather than focusing on differences can lead to building a more stable and peaceful community.
