East meets West with indelible consequences in this moving and beautifully written novel which brings to life two unforgettable families and the sacrifice and love that bind them together. That is a stunning new talent and perfect for fans of "The Kite Runner" and "Half a Yellow Sun". In 1999, Sinan is swept up in everyday problems. Despite hardships, he must be considered a role model for his nine-year-old son Ysmail, who's preparing for his coming-of-age ceremony. Meanwhile his teenage daughter Yrem grows more resentful of having to help her mother run the home, cover her glorious hair beneath a headscarf, and avoid watching Western television. But the delicate stability of this family is about to be tested in the wake of the earthquake that will strip Sinan of his home and livelihood, and with them his certainty as a father, husband and man of faith. Reliant after missionaries running the camp they now call home and morally indebted with an American whom he distrusts (and whose son Dylan exerts a frightening pull on Yrem), Sinan becomes entangled in some increasingly dangerous decisions. Pushed towards a final betrayal, Sinan may yet find that everything he holds dear is destroyed, like the streets of Istanbul that lie in rubble beneath his feet. This recording is unabridged.
