Sıcak Külleri Kaldı

Set against forty years of Turkish and world history, the novel follows a group of Turkish characters who believed in socialism and must now live with the collapse of the Soviet bloc. Its scenes move from Istanbul, Ankara and Eskişehir to Moscow and Paris, and from embassy residences, universities and factories to torture rooms, morgues, shanty towns and waterside mansions. Its people come from every level of society: senior state officials, politicians and diplomats, businessmen and secret agents, workers and trade unionists, party leaders, journalists and young militants. Drawing on real events and losses still fresh in memory, it weighs passion, love, friendship and faith against the questions of the state and of power, and asks what is left of the fires one generation lit.
