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
