Synopsis
From Booker-shortlisted author Elif Shafak, comes a powerful tale of faith, love and friendship set across Istanbul and Oxford
On a spring evening in Istanbul, Peri is on her way to a dinner party - a night of luxury a far cry from her upbringing. But when her handbag is stolen her world shifts violently. She starts to doubt how she got here: a traumatic Istanbul childhood, student years in Oxford, the rebellious professor who led her and best friends Shirin and Mona to question everything - Islam, love, life, even God - and the scandal that tore them all apart. Over one desperate night she tries to make sense of a past she has tried to forget - but can we ever escape who we once were?
Shirin, Peri and Mona, they were the most unlikely of friends. They were the Sinner, the Believer and the Confused.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture
Peri, a wealthy Turkish housewife, is on her way to a dinner party at a seaside mansion in Istanbul when a beggar snatches her handbag. As she wrestles to get it back, a photograph falls to the ground - an old polaroid of three young women and their university professor. A relic from a past - and a love - Peri had tried desperately to forget. The photograph takes Peri back to Oxford University, as an eighteen year old sent abroad for the first time. To her dazzling, rebellious Professor and his life-changing course on God. To her home with her two best friends, Shirin and Mona, and their arguments about Islam and femininity. And finally, to the scandal that tore them all apart.

Etat : As New. Leichte Abnutzungen. The stunning, timely new novel from the acclaimed, internationally bestselling author follows Peri, a married, wealthy, beautiful Turkish woman, on her way to a dinner party in Istanbul. As a beggar snatches her handbag, a photograph falls out--a polaroid of three young women and their university professor, a relic from a past Peri has tried to forget. Set over an evening in contemporary Istanbul, the story unfolds as Peri navigates the tensions between East and West, religious and secular, rich and poor. Amidst the opulence of the dinner, terrorist attacks erupt across the city. Competing in Peri's mind are memories evoked by the polaroid, recalling her time at Oxford University, where she befriended the charming Shirin, a fully assimilated Iranian, and Mona, a devout Egyptian-American. Their debates on Islam and feminism center around the charismatic Professor Azur, who teaches divinity in unconventional ways. As the attacks draw nearer, Peri reflects on the scandal that ultimately tore them apart. Elif Shafak, the number one bestselling novelist in Turkey, delivers a rich and moving narrative that humanizes a profound sea change in the modern world.
