Now it is a sadly dilapidated home to ten wildly different individuals and their families.\nThere's a womanizing, hard-drinking academic with a penchant for philosophy; a 'clean freak' and her lice-ridden daughter; a lapsed Jew in search of true love; and a charmingly naïve mistress whose shadowy past lurks in the building. When the rubbish at Bonbon Palace is stolen, a mysterious sequence of events unfolds that result in a soul-searching quest for truth.\n'Picaresque' Guardian\n'Hyperactive and hilarious' Independent\nElif Shafak has emerged as one of the most distinctive voices in both English and Turkish contemporary literature; her novels, The Bastard of Istanbul, The Forty Rules of Love, The Gaze and Honour, are consistently at the top of bestseller lists across the globe.
