In the Shadow of the Yali (2021)
Suat Derviş
"Evoking the tumultuous fledgling years of the Turkish Republic as it rises from the ashes of the Ottoman Empire, In the Shadow of the Yali is an enthralling and troubling novel about desire, possession, and illicit love. Suat Dervis delivers a powerful feminist rebuke of patriarchal society that thrums with passion right up to the surprising and challenging climax of this romantic and tragic work."
