More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the 1980 Turkish military coup, a bed-ridden widow named Fatma reflects on her life and shares her memories with her late husband's illegitimate son. As her grandchildren's visit approaches, family tensions escalate when a right-wing nationalist nephew draws them into the political turmoil, intertwining personal grievances with the broader historical context of the coup. The narrative explores themes of family dynamics, loyalty, and the impact of political upheaval on personal lives.
