Gölge

Our story is our honor... Your shadow will always be with me... Everyone has a secret song, they carry it inside their whole life, sometimes they bury it so deep that in time they forget it too. Until they come across someone who is drunk with the same song. We grieved and cried with the same song once. That’s why I believed in you. I know we are people dancing together without knowing each other, to a song that was sung -will be sung or is being sung- in a different time. I can’t see your face, I speak without my eyes meeting yours, I don’t like this at all, but you must be a good person to have made it this far. I don’t know why I have to share my story with you, but you will do what you want, I will tell you everything I can remember now. Don’t rush to understand. We love some things without understanding them. For example, people... What else is love?

A child and a monkey walking on a tightrope stretched between two minarets in the skies of Istanbul... Two best friends... They watch the city from there... Istanbul, which has hung love, sin, and death like a necklace around its neck... Because the story of the city will eventually become their story... One of the most powerful voices in our literature, İsmail Güzelsoy reaches the peak of his writing adventure with Gölge... There is love in this novel. There is compassion. A mysterious society in search of immortality. People trying to decipher the language of dreams. And a friendship that even death could not end...
