Pale Carnation

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

Fikret kissed her pale face. “Don’t worry at all. We are going up to the mountains not to die, but to crush the enemy. One day, when I return to you safe and sound, I will bring you freedom...”

Aferdita interrupted him.

“Don’t forget, my love,” she said, tears streaming down her cheeks from her green eyes.

“Every choice is an abandonment. But the one who is abandoned always remains the creditor!”

They had promised each other under that willow tree that they would nest like doves. But when the Nazis invaded their country, a shadow fell on their happiness. Love couldn’t be lived without a country! Fikret set off towards the Bajgora Mountains for the sake of freedom... With Aferdita in his heart, and his homeland on his mind…

Author of best-selling books such as Incir Kuşları and Piruze, Sinan Akyüz confronts us with war while telling the story of love in his heartbreaking latest novel Solgun Karanfil and asks: “Is it harder to lose experiences or dreams?”
