The Bastard of Istanbul
Highlights:
‘Wonderfully magical, incredible, breathtaking… will have you gasping with disbelief in the last few pages’
_Sunday Express_
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 Kazancı lives with her extended family in Istanbul. Due to a mysterious family curse, all the Kazancı 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 a 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.
