Description
Elif Shafak’s « Three Daughters of Eve » revolves around Peri, a married Turkish woman who has a polaroid photo of three young women and their university professor, a reminder of a past love. Set over an evening in contemporary Istanbul, the story unfolds during a dinner party amid the city’s tensions, with terrorist attacks escalating. Peri’s memories transport her back to her time at Oxford University, where she befriended Shirin and Mona, two vastly different friends, and studied under the charismatic Professor Azur. The narrative weaves together the past and the present, exploring themes of religion, feminism, and personal transformation. Shafak, a celebrated Turkish novelist, humanizes the significant changes in the modern world through her storytelling.
