Mansion of Tears Island 1876

In the spring of 1876, I was sent to Büyükada to give birth to my illegitimate baby, without the knowledge of the men of the house. They gave me Bedriye Kalfa. The women of the house presented a little story to my father and brother. My father, who lived with the ambition of making money, was not in a position to take notice of my absence anyway. Only my brother was surprised to hear that I would be away for a while. While spooning the cranberry compote at the table, he froze for a moment. As it was explained to him, he believed that since my hair had caught fire as a result of an unfortunate accident, I would go to my aunt's mansion in Beyazid with Bedriye Kalfa, and in this way I would recover a little. This is how the Mansion of Tears begins. A young woman, with her baby in her belly, sad and proud, comes to the island. Away from fate, from eyes looking for shame, from men who rule over life... On the one hand, tales of respect for morality and sacred ideas, and on the other hand, lively issues of freedom... Sebnem Isigüzel adds a new voice to her voice... to literature... with a novel that is cheerful, full of love and full of life...
