10 Minutes 38 Seconds in this Strange World – Shortlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize

Shortlisted for the 2019 Booker Prize”One of the best writers in the world today” Hanif Kureishi “Haunting, moving, beautifully written – and based by an extraordinary cast of characters who capture the diversity of modern Turkey. A masterpiece” Peter Frankopan For Leila, each minute after her death recalls a sensuous memory: spiced goat stew, sacrificed by her father to celebrate the birth of a yearned-for son; bubbling vats of lemon and sugar to wax women`s legs while men are at prayer; the cardamom coffee she shares with a handsome student in the brothel where she works. Each fading memory brings back the friends she made in her bittersweet life – friends who are now desperately trying to find her…”One of the most important writers at work today” Independent
