One Rainy Afternoon In Istanbul, A Nineteen-Year-Old Woman Named Zeliha Walks Into A Doctor’S Office And Announces, “I Want An Abortion.” Unmarried And Fiercely Independent, Zeliha Is Determined To Raise Her Child On Her Own. That Child Is Asya Kazancı, A Rebellious Teenager Who Grows Up In A Household Of Eccentric Women—Her Clairvoyant Auntie Banu, Hypochondriac Auntie Feride, And Bar-Brawling Auntie Cevriye—Haunted By A Mysterious Family Curse That Claims The Lives Of All Kazancı Men Before The Age Of Forty-One. Meanwhile, In San Francisco, Armanoush Tchakhmakhchian, A Young Armenian-American Woman, Feels Disconnected From Her Heritage. In Search Of Her Roots, She Secretly Travels To Istanbul And Moves In With The Kazancı Family. As Armanoush And Asya Form An Unlikely Friendship, Long-Suppressed Truths About Their Families And Turkey’S Turbulent Past Begin To Surface. Shafak’S Novel Is A Rich Tapestry Of Voices And Perspectives, Blending Magical Realism With Historical Fiction. It Is A Courageous And Compassionate Exploration Of Cultural Identity, Intergenerational Trauma, And The Power Of Storytelling To Heal And Connect.
