Description
On a single evening in contemporary Istanbul, Peri—wealthy, married, and carefully composed—finds her life jolted off course when a beggar snatches her handbag and an old Polaroid of three young women and their professor surfaces from the past. As she arrives at a seaside dinner party amid simmering social fractures, Peri is forced to confront the memories of her time abroad at Oxford, where friendship, faith, and ideology collided in the charged presence of Professor Azur and three unforgettable women shaped by different cultures and convictions. Interwoven with the city’s escalating unrest, the novel explores how feminism, religion, and identity are negotiated in public and private, and what it costs to belong—or to be forgiven. Elif Shafak’s signature blend of lyrical storytelling, sharp social observation, and emotionally driven character work turns a timely backdrop of violence and polarization into a deeply human meditation on love, belief, and the stories we try to bury.
