From the acclaimed author of the 2007 New York Times Notable
Book Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name comes a stunning novel
about the love between husbands and wives, mothers and
children.
Twenty-eight years ago, Peter and Yvonne honeymooned in the
beautiful coastal village of Datca, Turkey. Now Yvonne is a widow,
her twin children grown. Hoping to immerse herself in memories of a
happier time--as well as sand and sea--Yvonne returns to Datca. But
her plans for a restorative week in Turkey are quickly complicated.
Instead of comforting her, her memories begin to trouble her.
Overwhelmed by the past and unexpectedly dislocated by the
environment, Yvonne clings to a newfound friendship with Ahmet, a
local boy who makes his living as a shell collector. But a
devastating accident upends her delicate peace and throws her life
into chaos--and her sense of self into turmoil.
With the crystalline voice and psychological nuance for which
her work has been so celebrated, Vendela Vida has crafted another
unforgettable heroine in a stunningly beautiful and mysterious
landscape.
