Product Information

Fifteen-year-old Meryem lives in a rural village in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. Her simple, conventional way of life changes dramatically after her uncle, a sheikh in a dervish order, rapes her--and condemns her to death for shaming the family. Asked to carry out the "honor killing" is his son Cemal, a commando in the Turkish army. So begins a long, mystifying voyage for Meryem as her shell-shocked cousin ushers her to the shining metropolis of Istanbul where another troubled soul, the Harvard-educated professor Irfan, embarks on his own journey of transformation--one that catapults him into the heart of Meryem and Cemal's conflict. The crossed-paths and interwoven destinies of these three characters makes for an affecting, by turns brutal and life-affirming portrayal of traditional and modern-day Turkey that no reader will soon forget. "Livaneli is an essential force in Turkey's musical, cultural, and political scene." --Orhan Pamuk, Nobel Prize Winner and author of Snow " Bliss is eye-opening and deeply moving." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred) "Compelling [for] American readers ...hard to put down." -- The Cleveland Plain Dealer "With lush scenes of Turkish life and nuanced depictions of the [characters'] inner lives. . .a convergence of lost, likable souls." -- Entertainment Weekly

A compelling premise, set in a part of the world that many American readers are curious about. . . hard to put down, A gripping contemporary story that gets behind stereotypes of exotic Islam to reveal the diversity in individual people and the secrets and lies, cruelty and love, in family, friendship, and public life. This will make a terrific bookclub selection when it reaches paperback., "I loved this book so much that I sent a fan letter to the publisher, and demanded to be introduced to the author when I went to Istanbul.

It allows us to understand Turkey and its people a little better and sympathize with them." --Necla Kelek, German-Turkish sociologist and author of the bestsellers The Foreign Bride and The Lost Sons "Lyrical, poetic, and magical . . .Livaneli is an extraordinary writer and a master of language . . .I like the way he depicts the real and unknown life of the simple people who live deep in the East with their own age-old codes of life You will read this book in one breath, without a pause." --Mikis Theodorakis, composer for Zorba the Greek "Teens will be drawn to the plight of a girl who has been raped and is then treated as the perpetrator of the crime.
