Description
'But for that slender connection with the mainland, Andal¿ç would have been a regular island,' says Asl¿ Biçen in the opening chapter of this deliciously multi-layered novel. And it would have been an ordinarystory about love and loss,if it weren't for theearthquake thatunexpectedly sets the landmass afloat on the Aegean, kindling a series of increasingly oppressive measures by the authorities;ostensibly to keep public order. As Andal¿ç drifts between Greece and Turkey, things get from bad to worse, until eventuallyour heroes,Cemal and Jülide, join the growing resistance, and even nature lends a helping hand, offering a secret underground system that plays its part in ousting the tyranny.What starts as the realistic tale of a charming provincial town develops into a richly detailed political novel in a fantastic setting. Biçen's dreamy language weaves a flowing style that transports the reader into every nook and cranny of Andal¿ç and the crystal-clearwaters of the Aegean;her metaphors are imaginative, her observations insightful, and her descriptions melodious.
