Description

On the shore of Marmara Sea, the Stone Woman stands in the garden of Iskander Pasha s summer house. Women and occasionally men come and confide to her. Some even hear her talk back. The latest is Nilofer, a daughter of Iskander Pasha, a descendent of a condemned Ottoman courtier. Accompanied by her son, she has come to visit her father who has recently suffered a stroke. Soon the entire family reunites and begins a family drama that will change their lives forever. The Stone Woman is the third novel in Tariq Ali s acclaimed Islam Quintet in which he has visited the twilight of the Ottoman Empire. Told through the story of influential Pasha family, itrevisits Islamic history to bring to surface the political unrest of the era and tries to fathom the Ottoman social structure of the time through their tensions and sexual intrigues. Although fictional, The Stone Woman is an enchanting overview of the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
