Turkey s leading female writer, Elif Shafak has won international acclaim for her lyrical blend of Eastern and Western storytelling styles. In this heartbreaking tale of love and misunderstanding, Shafak draws upon the dazzling insight, emotion, and drama that infused The Bastard of Istanbul to explore the controversial issue of honor killings as it tragically plays out in one family s life.
Twin sisters are born in the mid-1940s in a small Kurdish village on the border of Turkey and Syria. Jamila becomes a local midwife. Pembe marries Adem, and they immigrate to London in the 1970s. Bitter and frustrated with his new life, Adem moves out and Iskender, their eldest son, must step in as keeper of the family s honor. But when Pembe begins to spend time with another man, Iskender will discover that you could love someone with all your heart and yet be ready to hurt them.

Book Description Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Catalán. La extraordinària història d'Esma, una jove kurda que viu a Londres, es remunta tres generacions enrere, amb el naixement de la seva mare i la germana bessona d'aquesta, en un poble a la vora del riu Eufrates. La vida d'aquestes bessones tindrà un destí molt diferent al que qualsevol podria imaginar. Un destí que es veurà tacat de sang amb un tràgic assassinat ocorregut anys més tard a Londres, i que podria estar relacionat amb la pròpia història d'Esma. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
