Meer over het boek

The stunning, timely new novel from the acclaimed, internationally bestselling author follows Peri, a married, wealthy, beautiful Turkish woman, on her way to a dinner party in Istanbul. As a beggar snatches her handbag, a photograph falls out—a polaroid of three young women and their university professor, a relic from a past Peri has tried to forget. Set over an evening in contemporary Istanbul, the story unfolds as Peri navigates the tensions between East and West, religious and secular, rich and poor. Amidst the opulence of the dinner, terrorist attacks erupt across the city. Competing in Peri's mind are memories evoked by the polaroid, recalling her time at Oxford University, where she befriended the charming Shirin, a fully assimilated Iranian, and Mona, a devout Egyptian-American. Their debates on Islam and feminism center around the charismatic Professor Azur, who teaches divinity in unconventional ways. As the attacks draw nearer, Peri reflects on the scandal that ultimately tore them apart. Elif Shafak, the number one bestselling novelist in Turkey, delivers a rich and moving narrative that humanizes a profound sea change in the modern world.
