'Orhan Pamuk is the sort of writer for whom the Nobel Prize was
invented.' Daily Telegraph 'Pamuk is the real thing.' Observer 'One
of the world's finest living writers.' Independent 'Essential
reading for our times.' Margaret Atwood 'Everyone should read
Pamuk.' New Statesman An epic and playful mystery of passion, fear,
scandal and murder, from one of history's master storytellers.
1901. Night draws in. With the stealth of a spy vessel, the royal
ship Aziziye approaches the famous vistas of Mingheria, the
twenty-ninth state of the ailing Ottoman Empire. The ship carries
Princess Pakize, the daughter of a deposed sultan, her doctor
husband, and the Royal Chemist, Bonkowski Pasha. Not all of them
will survive the weeks ahead. There are rumours of plague - rumours
some in power will try to suppress. But plague is not the only
killer. Mingheria is on the cusp of catastrophe, and the future of
a fragile empire is at stake. 'A wry meditation on nationalism and
identity, on history and myth, on science and superstition,
delivered with Orhan Pamuk's trademark storytelling flair.'
Financial Times 'A tale of spies, conspiracy and murder . . . full
of vivid characters.' Independent
