About This Novel

Esma's mother Pembe died twice. Years later, she still couldn't get over her mother's death. In Esma's memory of her mother, the memory fragments are connected one by one, restoring the ups and downs of the fate of women in a Kurdish family from generation to generation. In 1945, in a small Kurdish village near the Euphrates River, Naz was struggling to give birth and on the verge of death. She had given birth to eight daughters and was willing to give up her life in order to have a son. She begged the midwife to perform a caesarean section for her, and she died as soon as the child was born. However, this time it was still a girl, and a few hours later, her daughter also died. Among Naz's many daughters, there are twin sisters: Pembe and Jamila. The two sisters had one heart and one mind when they were young. However, the two sisters could not withstand the tricks of fate and finally embarked on completely different paths in life. As an adult, Jamila stayed in her hometown to become a midwife, while Pembe followed her Turkish husband Adem to London. After Pembe and Adam moved to London, their lives were not as happy as they imagined. Wandering on the edge of tradition and modernity, the two generations of this family are facing an unprecedented spiritual split: Pembe still lives in memories of the past; her husband Adem indulges in casinos; their eldest daughter Esma and youngest son Yunus actively embrace Western values; while the eldest brother Iskander's blood flows with primitive violence and traditional values. Unintentionally, when Iskander discovers his mother's extramarital affair, he commits a crime that will cause him pain throughout his life.
