Description
Scheherazade is born in the ancient city of Smyrna, 17 years before it will be engulfed in flames. This unforgettable novel weaves together the fates of a Levantine, Greek, Turkish and Armenian family, revealing a city and culture now lost to time.
Set against the backdrop of the Ottoman Empire's decline, this beautifully written tale explores how love, emotions and identities are shaped by socio-political events. With luminous prose, Defne Suman brings to life a rich and complex story of family secrets and the silenced voices of history.
