A moving novel of love and war by the author of The Beekeeper of
Aleppo and Songbirds. It is July 1974 and on a bright, sunny
morning, the Turkish army has invaded the town of Kyrenia in
Cyprus. For many people, this means an end to life as they know it.
But for some, it is a chance to begin living again. Everyone has
always talked about Koki. They never believed she was her father's
daughter and her mother died too soon to quiet their wagging
tongues. And when she became pregnant and there was no sign of a
husband, her fate was sealed. So she lives outside the town and
hides from her neighbours' eyes. But, held captive with the very
women who have made her life so lonely, Koki is finally able to
tell them the truth. To talk of the Turkish shoe-maker who came to
the town and took her heart away with him when he left. And how she
has longed for him all these years. Meanwhile, Adem Berker finds
himself back in Kyrenia, his former home, now as a member of the
invading force. Here he left everything he ever wanted and, by
cover of darkness, risking his life, he is searching every house,
every cafe, every old pathway, for just a glimpse of the only woman
he has ever loved. For readers of The Island, The Book Thief and
The Kite Runner.
