“A Court at Constantinople” by Anthony Earth is a story about James Bingham, an English lawyer, a widower and a very lonely man. He is asked to take a job in Constantinople, Turkey where he will practice law starting as a junior law clerk. Mehmed is also a clerk at James’ court but his role is to learn the English ways of law and court and take the knowledge back to Turkey. Unfortunately for Mehmed, Turkey does not take well to the way the law and justice is administered in England. Turks believe in Shari law. Bingham’s trip to Constantinople was very detailed with people that traveled on the same train, those that played cards with him and descriptions of the women pointed out to him that might interest him. In Turkey a Mufti was training young law student members of the Ottoman empire in the differences in law between England, France and Turkey. The maltreaters of English people in Turkey were judged harshly and Edmund Hornby, the judge Bingham would clerk for, was in a tough position to try create a code acceptable for Brits and Turks to co-exist and Bingham was there to help him. A very interesting story that has motivated me to add this book to my to-read shelf.

An excellent review, thank you. A Court At Constantinople by Anthony Earth seems to be a work deserving of applause as it encompasses literary genius worthy of recognition. The story explores law, equality, human rights, and love and does so in a way that is coherent and enjoyable.

It was nothing short of an excellent story-telling piece and could have easily passed for a book in John Grisham’s series

- It's safe to say that it's no crime to read this crime fiction book. I will target this, next. Thank you for an amazing review.

The themes of law, equality, human rights and justice are among the issues that I find very interesting, and I am certain that I will enjoy following how they intertwine in this story. I am wondering how James Bingham will bring about change in his new workplace and the threats he might encounter. As a result, I am adding the book to my want-to-read shelf. Many thanks for the review.

This sounds like a story I could easily immerse in. From what I know, the intricacies of law could indeed be hard to put in a straight line. Your review was enjoyable to read, too!

[Ngozi Onyibor]

Today's book is a multi-themed novel that follows some colorful characters as they fight for the prevalence of justice and realize that justice isn't always linear.

[Seamstress]

It's a pretty good book, in my opinion, both in regard to the interesting storyline and comparison of different cultures and traditions it offers. To be honest, it surprised me myself how immersed I got in it, since usually I am not all that interested in the Middle East, but I definitely have no regrets for the time I spent on that book.

[Martina Sette]

This book is great. It highlights its rich exploration of justice, law, and human rights within the backdrop of a foreign land. It seems like a compelling read with intricate character connections and seamless blending of themes.

[Elijah Reuben]

As a huge fan of Roman history, I give this book a five star rating. Thank you for a comprehensive review.

[Marissa Michael]

This literary fiction talks about the endeavours of the characters to fight for the law and justice as they are more often than not are not a straight line, the friendship and the love among the characters in just 300+ pages. The skill of storytelling such complex subjects is applausible. Definitely adding this to my tbr list.

Your review is very insightful and intriguing! As an English lawyer, I feel like shadowing James Bingham and finding out about the twists you mention in the administration of justice in the Constantinople court!

I was enthralled by James Bingham's character development in 'Constantinople.' His evolution from a bereft husband to a dedicated law clerk in a foreign land is both poignant and inspiring. Congrats on the botd.
