Book by Kazan Frances

“A complex tale of intrigue, secrets, superstitions and veiled passions. Frances Kazan has turned unknown history into compelling human drama.”
—Susan Vreeland, author of Girl in Hyacinth Blue

“Enchanting . . . Frances Kazan has taken Halide Edib’s true story—her amazing moment in Turkey’s history—and with an alchemy of art and scholarship has turned it into the kind of fiction that illuminates a world.”
—Jane Kramer

“Engrossing . . . Most of Halide’s story takes place in the harem, where it engages themes of love, marriage and betrayal. . . . Kazan’s descriptions of turn-of-the-century Constantinople are haunting.”
—The Washington Post

“A wonderfully foreign, fascinating world . . . [Halide] was a woman who defied convention.”
—The Denver Post

“I was gripped by Frances Kazan’s evocation of the last days of the Ottoman empire in Halide’s Gift. That strange, fragile world of complex intrigues and compromises is made fully present through her scrupulous attention to individual lives and psychological truth. An impressive novel.”
—Pankaj Mishra, author of The Romantics
