The Nobel Prize-winner's second novel to appear in an Everyman
edition is a spellbinding story of a poet seeking his lost love in
a remote Turkish town riven by religious conflict and cut off from
the world by a blizzard.
Returning to Turkey from exile in the West, Ka is driven by
curiosity to investigate a surprising wave of suicides among
religious girls forbidden to wear their head scarves in school. But
the epicenter of the suicides, the eastern border city of Kars, is
also home to the radiant and newly divorced ypek, a friend of Ka's
youth whom he has never forgotten and whose spirited younger sister
is a leader of the rebellious schoolgirls. As a fierce snowstorm
descends on Kars, violence between the military and local Islamic
radicals begins to explode, and Ka finds his sympathies drawn in
unexpected and dramatic directions.
