About the Book, The Green-Eyed Witch
Daughter of the Moon Goddess
Samir and his love escapades since his university days. After some flings with young single girls, while being married himself, he decides to exclusively go for married women. He meets them mostly at gyms, cafés, restaurants, and later, only on social media.
Samir sticks to a specific age range for these ladies and switches them up often. Meanwhile, he is also trying to get deep into the adultery philosophy of married women.
As he gets older, he meets another married woman he truly falls for. Their love is mutual. Even the war in Ukraine, starting in 2022, can’t stop their love and their meetings outside of Ukraine.
The Green-Eyed Witch Review
I was compensated with a small amount for my time and effort in reading the book and writing this review. However, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own and are based on my honest personal experience reading the book. Nor did the publisher in any way, shape, or form ever pressure me to give a positive review.
The Green Eyed Witch takes a pretty objective, almost matter of fact approach on the topic of adultery. What stood out to me right from the start was how honestly it portrayed what actually appeals about cheating to the people who cheat The adrenaline of the taboo and the feeling of doing something you are not supposed to be doing, Dursunov captures that mindset without making it look glamorous, which I personally appreciated.
The book is definitely more male-pov focused. Samir’s voice drives the entire narrative, and the Green Eyed woman ends up feeling less like a traditional character and more like the personification of “the affair” itself, especially when she never really got her own name.
As I mentioned earlier, my overall experience with the portrayal of cheating here is that it is pretty objective. Instead of glamorizing adultery, the book treats it more like an emotionally tangled, deeply human mess. The story does not defend cheating, but it does portray it in way that makes me feel like, it wants a chance to share to people who don’t cheat what goes on in the mind of cheaters.
Where I am a bit torn is the conclusion. The story does not end with big drama or major revelations. Instead, it settles into this lingering sense of unresolved attachment and emotional dependency on Samir’s part. He keeps loving the green-eyed woman, fully aware that whatever they once had is never coming back. It’s…an interesting choice, but it also left me wondering what the book wanted me to take away from all this. Is the point simply that not every love story needs closure? Or was the book trying to say something deeper about timing, consequences, or the way people drift in and out of our lives?
But overall, I genuinely enjoyed reading everything unfold. Even when I was unsure about the thematic intention behind the ending, the emotional journey itself kept me engaged the whole way through. The book offers a grounded, human look at infidelity, and while it does not offer neat answers, it certainly gives you a lot to think about long after the last page.
