"The third book in the Ottoman Quartet, set in the years leading up to WWI, is steeped in the tumultuous events and the political struggle that shaped 20th century Turkey, from the war against the Bulgarian army and the coup that resulted in the nation's one-party rule. Against this background, a tormented, obsessive love affair unfolds between Nizam, the son of Hikmet Bey, and Russian pianist Anya. Altan has created in this novel an intricate tapestry of love and war in which he analyses the structure of male power and its degeneration into violence against women, uncompromising nationalism, and pervasive censorship"--Provided by publisher.
