A novel built from real names, times and events, with the story of Halil and Gyulten, Nurten and Mustafa at its heart. Around it the author draws on what she witnessed growing up in Bratsigovo: Jewish neighbours who were victims of the war years, people who had fought as partisans, Turkish classmates during the forced renaming of the minority in 1984–1985, and the great exodus of summer 1989, when whole villages emptied as their people left for Turkey. The book rests on the idea that people belong not to separate ethnic groups but to one planet.
