About this Item

Print on Demand. This book depicts the emotional and cultural turmoil faced by the upper strata of Ottoman society during the slow decline of the empire in the late 19th century. The author's incisive observations analyse the impact of societal change through the prism of a wealthy Muslim family living on the banks of the Bosporus, their personal tragedies mirroring the wider political and social malaise of an era. The book explores themes of love, loss and betrayal against the backdrop of a society in flux, as tradition and modernity clash, leaving the characters grappling with their identities and values. It delves into the lives of women in particular, whose struggles for self-determination and fulfilment are shown against the restrictive societal expectations of the time. The author's profound insight into the human condition and the complexities of identity make for a powerful examination of this fascinating period in history.
