From the award-winning author of What Survives and As They Are, comes another literary novel of women empowering each other. It is the evening of July 15, 2016. Nuray Demir, a journalist, steps off the tram in Istanbul to visit her friend, Adalet Ulusoy. Gun shots burst out nearby, and chaos breaks loose in the streets before her eyes. Soldiers are dispersing everywhere. Nuray runs to investigate and crosses paths with the wrong soldier. Adalet struggles with a long-distance relationship that has gone on for several years. He is Jewish, and she is Muslim. He lives in New York, and she lives in Istanbul. He would marry her in a heartbeat, but she is too emotionally tied to Turkey to make that commitment. These two women, each in completely different circumstances, are both caught up in a vortex of change. Will they learn to navigate and overcome this new reality? Or will they find a way to safely leave it behind?
