Description
When Orhan’s grandfather, the founder of a celebrated kilim-rug dynasty, dies under mysterious circumstances, Orhan unexpectedly inherits the family business—and a troubling secret. His grandfather’s will leaves the family estate to an elderly woman living in a Los Angeles nursing home, sending Orhan on a journey to uncover her connection to his family and the truth buried in their past. Moving between modern-day Turkey and the shadows of the Armenian Genocide, this richly atmospheric novel explores memory, identity, inherited trauma, and the enduring power of love and forgiveness.
