Description
September 1905 marks the birth of Scheherazade in the ancient city of Smyrna, amidst an opium-dazed mother. At the same moment, an Indian spy arrives with a secret mission from the British Empire. Seventeen years later, the city will be consumed by flames, leaving only smoke and kerosene in its wake. This novel weaves together the intertwined fates of four families - Levantine, Greek, Turkish, and Armenian - set against the backdrop of Smyrna's tumultuous history. Through their stories, a rich tapestry of love, loss, and identity is revealed, shedding light on a culture now lost to time. With luminous prose, Defne Suman brings to life the magical city of Smyrna, where family secrets are intertwined with socio-political events that shape lives forever.
