Djinns

Autor Fatma Aydemir Traducere de Jon Cho-Polizzi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 oct 2024
For thirty years, Huseyin has worked in Germany, taking every extra shift and carefully saving, even as he provides for his wife and four children. Finally, he has set aside enough to buy an apartment back in Istanbul a new centre for his loved ones and a place for him to retire. But just as this future is in reach, Huseyin's tired heart gives up. His family rush to him, travelling from Germany by plane and car, each of his children conflicted as they process their relationship with their parents and each other. Reminiscent of Bernardine Evaristo or Zadie Smith, Djinns portrays a family at the end of the twentieth century in all its complexity: full of secrets, questions, silence and love.

Recenzii

“A stunningly intense and multilayered novel—a brilliant family epic.”—Stern, praise for the German edition
“It’s hard to tear yourself away.”—SPIEGEL Bestseller supplement, praise for the German edition 
“Searing. . . . A devastating multigenerational saga in which an immigrant family struggles to find acceptance in a world where no one and no place will take them as they are.”

“Sensational. . . . Sometimes you just want a big old family saga to lose yourself in – and there’s none more engrossing this autumn than Djinns.”

“Couldn’t feel more timely. . . . A deft, multi-layered story of one immigrant family’s life. It feels epic. . . . Its majesty as a work of literature is in its universality.”

“A profoundly moving journey through grief toward freedom.”
