As the snow begins to fall, a journalist arrives in the remote city of Kars on the Turkish border. Kars is a troubled place - there's a suicide epidemic among its young women, Islamists are poised to win the local elections, and the head of the intelligence service is viciously effective. When the growing blizzard cuts off the outside world, the stage is set for a terrible and desperate act . . . Orhan Pamuk's magnificent and bestselling new novel evokes the spiritual fragility of the non-Western world, its ambivalence about the godless West, and its fury. This 2005 Faber and Faber Paperback is in fair condition. Small tears to the cover, rubbed. ISBN: 9780571218318 SKU: 1572398 Note: Any image shown is from a stock photo and is not the actual book.
