Fifteen-year-old Meryem lives in a rural village in Eastern Anatolia Turkey. Her simple conventional way of life changes dramatically after her uncle a sheikh in a dervish order rapes her-and condemns her to death for shaming the family. Asked to carry out the honor killing is his son Cemal a commando in the Turkish army. So begins a long mystifying voyage for Meryem as her shell-shocked cousin ushers her to the shining metropolis of Istanbul where another troubled soul the Harvard-educated professor Irfan embarks on his own journey of transformation-one that catapults him into the heart of Meryem and Cemal's conflict. The crossed-paths and interwoven destinies of these three characters makes for an affecting by turns brutal and life-affirming portrayal of traditional and modern-day Turkey that no reader will soon forget.
