Book Summary
Each year, when the weather in Istanbul becomes unbearable, the family of
Iskender Pasha, a retired Ottoman notable, retires to its summer palace
overlooking the Sea of Marmara. It is 1899 and the last great Islamic empire is
in serious trouble. A former tutor poses a question which the family has been
refusing to confront for almost a century: 'Your Ottoman Empire is like a
drunken prostitute, neither knowing nor caring who will take her next. Do I
exaggerate, Memed?' The history of Iskender Pasha's family mirrors the growing
degeneration of the Empire they have served for the last five hundred years.
