The Bastard Of Istanbul
Prologue: Shafak’s charming, smart, and profoundly involving spinning top of a novel dramatizes the inescapability of guilt and punishment, and the inextricable entwinement of Armenians and Turks, East and West, past and present, the personal and the political. By aligning the ‘compulsory amnesia’ surrounding the crimes in one family with Turkey’s refusal to confront past crimes against humanity, Shafak makes the case for truth, reconciliation and remembrance.
