Devridaim

In Beşiktaş, the sophisticated and scruffy Istanbul district, Serkan runs a bottled-water business and is shaken by dreams that grow stranger every day. In another time, naive Macit turns everything upside down to be with his Işık, unaware that he will leave his mark on the generation of 1968, while the dismissed Ahmet Vefik Pasha, troubled by the handover of Istanbul's water supply to a private company, sits writing a play. A stone that has lost its way and a letter seep into these lives through the cycle of time. Following the trail of water, the novel links people who seem to share nothing but a place, in sections that run from the second half of the nineteenth century to 2019 and meet a present of dwindling resources.
