10 MINUTES AND 38 SECONDS IN THIS STRANGE WORLD

10 MINUTES AND 38 SECONDS IN THIS STRANGE WORLD
ELIF SAFAK

"The first minute after her death, Tequila Leila's consciousness began to decline, slowly and steadily, like the ebb and flow of the shore…"
For Leila, every minute after her death brings to mind a memory of her senses: a kid with a spice stew, the one her father sacrificed to celebrate the birth of his coveted son; teapots steaming lemon with sugar to wax the women their calves, while the men pray; the coffee with the cardamom seeds that he shares with a nice student in the brothel where he works. Every fading memory brings back the friends she made in her bittersweet life - friends who are now desperately looking to find her…
A very powerful and evocative novel by the pen of one of the most important writers of our time.
