Description

Turkey's greatest living novelist guides us through the monuments and lost paradises, dilapidated Ottoman villas, back streets and waterways of Istanbul - the city of his birth and the home of his imagination. This is a supremely moving account of one man's love affair with the city that has been his home since his birth.

Awards

Shortlisted for Samuel Johnson Prize 2005 and British Book Awards: History Book of the Year 2006.
