Review
In 1975 Istanbul, Kemal is about to get engaged when he meets the young and beautiful Füsun, and his life changes. This love turns into an obsession and a wait that will last for years.
By collecting every object that belonged to Füsun, Kemal tries to preserve a lost time. The novel captures the social fabric of 1970s Istanbul with nostalgia.
