Description
A mesmerizing novel about a young woman's coming into her own, set against the backdrop of two cities: Paris and Istanbul. Nunu moves from Istanbul to Paris after her mother's death, and it is there that she meets M., an older British writer whose novels about Istanbul have captivated her imagination.
As they form an unlikely friendship, Nunu finds herself drawn into a world of eccentric correspondence and long walks around the city. She recounts her family's past, mythical meals, and elaborate childhood games, but also confronts her own guilt and the narratives she's told to protect herself from her memories.
This is a wise and unguarded glimpse into a young woman's journey towards self-discovery, exploring themes of memory, the pleasure of invention, and those places we can't escape. A poignant and thought-provoking novel that will linger in your mind long after you finish reading.
