Description
Dora Giraud's confession fills seven notebooks, with one left mostly empty. She tries to explain why she remains in Istanbul after escaping death and risks her life to campaign for truth about the Greek, Armenian, and Assyrian genocides, which have been denied by the Turkish state for a century. As Dora shares her story, a tangled legacy of loss and betrayal emerges. Born into a family with a complex history, she carries both the pain of victims and perpetrators. Her desire to understand her family's past is the thread that binds this narrative together. With this confession, Dora hopes to set her daughters free from the weight of their inherited secrets. This novel, Maureen Freely's fourth set in Istanbul, where she grew up, explores a mystery left unresolved from previous stories.
