Description

I recently visited Istanbul and before I went I wanted to find a novel that would give me some insight into the city. This didn't disappoint! In this first mini-episode of Book Nomad podcast, we head to a land of nostalgia, history and a complex relationship with small animals!

Book in focus: The Birds Have Also Gone by Yashar Kemal, trans. by Thilda Kemal (Turkey).
