Description
By Elif Şafak
Asya Kazanci is nineteen, lives in Istanbul in a house full of women, and has no idea who her father is. Armanoush Tchakhmakhchian is her step-cousin, an Armenian-American who arrives from San Francisco without telling her family, looking for what happened to her grandmother’s people in 1915.
The two families turn out to share more than a marriage. Şafak was prosecuted in Turkey for the things her Armenian characters say in this book, and acquitted.
