Description
Snow by Orhan Pamuk is set against the backdrop of a wave of suicides among young girls in Turkey who are forbidden from wearing their head scarves. As poet Ka returns to his homeland, he becomes drawn into a complex web of violence and rebellion in the impoverished border city of Kars.
A fierce snowstorm isolates the city, and Ka finds himself on the side of the rebellious schoolgirls, whose spirited younger sister is a leader among them. As tensions between the military and local Islamic radicals escalate, Ka's sympathies are drawn into unexpected and dramatic directions.
