10 minutes and 38 seconds in this strange world - Elif Shafak

I wonder, what would happen if the human mind remained active for a few precious minutes after the moment of death? Ten minutes, thirty-eight seconds, specifically... All the moments that followed Layla's death carried a different sensory memory: the taste of goat meat stew with spices; the scene of pots boiling with lemon and sugar; and the scent of the fragrant coffee that Layla shared with a handsome student. And each memory also brought to mind the friends she knew at every pivotal moment of her life - those friends who are now exerting all their strength to find her. Cover type: paper
