Description
Birds Without Wings is a sweeping novel set against the backdrop of the collapsing Ottoman Empire, where the fragile peace between Christian and Muslim communities is shattered by the twin scourges of religion and nationalism.
The story follows the fortunes of one small community in south-west Anatolia, as the outside world intrudes and the peaceful fabric of life is destroyed. Against this epic backdrop, the novel explores the personal and political costs of war, and the complex web of relationships between men and women, friends, and enemies.
A mesmerising and sensual novel, Birds Without Wings is a powerful exploration of humanity in the face of conflict and destruction.
