The opening of the book vividly describes the author’s first impressions of Constantinople as she arrives in the Golden Horn. She captures the beauty and complexity of the city, detailing its stunning architecture, the rush of various languages, and the sights and sounds of daily life. As she compares the Eastern customs with those of Europe, Pardoe expresses her sense of wonder and excitement while also addressing the political tensions and societal norms she encounters, particularly the challenges faced by foreign visitors in navigating local culture.
