One rainy afternoon in Istanbul, a woman walks into a doctor's
surgery. 'I need to have an abortion', she announces. She is
nineteen years old and unmarried. What happens that afternoon will
change her life. Twenty years later, Asya Kazanci lives with her
extended family in Istanbul. Due to a mysterious family curse, all
the Kaznci men die in their early forties, so it is a house of
women, among them Asya's beautiful, rebellious mother Zeliha, who
runs a tattoo parlour; Banu, who has newly discovered herself as
clairvoyant; and Feride, a hypochondriac obsessed with impending
disaster. And when Asya's Armenian-American cousin Armanoush comes
to stay, long hidden family secrets connected with Turkey's
turbulent past begin to emerge. 'Wonderfully magical, incredible,
breathtaking...will have you gasping with disbelief in the last few
pages' Sunday Express 'A beautiful book, the finest I have read
about Turkey' Irish Times 'Heartbreaking...the beauty of Islam
pervades Shafak's book' Vogue
