Candy Palace

Candy Palace: A building gifted by a Russian aristocratic immigrant to his beloved. In the building, the contradictions of Istanbul society and its tensions — among immigrants, minorities, marginalized people, and madmen: a university professor; twins running a barbershop; a pious man with his son's wife and grandchildren; a woman obsessed with cleanliness and her bedridden daughter; and the "Blue Mistress"... But the novel "Candy Palace" is, above all, a novel about social injustice, about the fear of losing identity, and the dominance of fate over the characters' destinies, and about the game of love that souls have judged with death. Elif Shafak is the best writer of novels in Turkey in this decade. (Orhan Pamuk) Number of pages: 462 Year of publication: 2016 Publisher: Dar Al-Adab
