Nilüfer opens her eyes in a room with high walls and believes half her face is gone beneath the bandages: how, she wonders, can someone with half a face look in a mirror or go out into the street again? Going back to 2 July 1993 in Sivas, when stones shattered the windows of a hotel and a roaring crowd filled the streets, the novel follows one by one the devastating effects of the massacre on individuals, and the unseen social depth of their pain.
