Enlightenment

A dark, Conradian drama set in a beautifully illuminated Istanbul, where the past is always with us
Orhan Pamuk

A tense thriller about the return of American investigative journalist Jeannie to Istanbul, the scene of her teenage love affair with Sinan, a Turkish boy, as well as the place of operation of her father, a CIA agent.

Jeannie is forced to confront her past when Sinan's wife asks her for help to regain her son, taken away from her by the American authorities.

This is a gripping read, where everyone is a suspect and no-one is who they say they are.
