Description

The bestselling Turkish classic of love and loss in a changing world

'A heart-breaker... it has the kind of indefinably powerful impact of The Great Gatsby' Observer

'Deeply moving... transformative... a love story that I actually love' Elif Shafak

'It is, perhaps, easier to dismiss a man whose face gives no indication of an inner life. And what a pity that is: a dash of curiosity is all it takes to stumble upon treasures we never expected.'

A shy young man leaves his home in rural Turkey to learn a trade in 1920s Berlin. The city's crowded streets, thriving arts scene, passionate politics and seedy cabarets provide the backdrop for a chance meeting with a woman, which will haunt him for the rest of his life. Emotionally powerful, intensely atmospheric and touchingly profound, Madonna in a Fur Coat is an unforgettable novel about new beginnings and the unfathomable nature of the human soul.

With an introduction by David Selim Sayers

'You think you know yearning... you think you know the fleeting nature of happiness... you think you know unrequited love, you think you know lyrical writing... and then you read Madonna in a Fur Coat' Jack Edwards

'The surprise bestseller... read, loved and wept over by men and women of all ages' Guardian
