Venüs

"There are feelings and knowledge within us, like seeds hidden under the ground. Habits, diseases, colors and all kinds of things that have been transmitted to us from our ancestors. Some things are passed on through blood. Some things are passed on through feeling. Those passed on through feeling are more important than those passed on through blood. Because humans exist not with their blood and soul, but with their feelings." "Your feelings and emotions keep you alive."

On it II. Venus welcomes us in Istanbul, where Abdulhamid's shadow has fallen and is fluctuating with anxiety. First, we meet our hero, who opens his eyes to the world in a boat on the waters of the Bosphorus, right in the middle of the east and the west. He tells us his life story, which started in 1908, and does not focus on narratives. Mother who died at birth; The father who was upset because he had a daughter and not a son; Aunt Sekina, who loves love, sexuality, herself and men very much. Oh, and there is also Nergis Kadin! Servant of the family for seven generations. Following in the footsteps of our heroes who say, "What one person in a family sees, seven people see beyond their hearts," we glide like smoke from Egypt, where slave hunters are on the prowl, to the magical Istanbul of 1589 and the mysterious palace life. We witness the most intimate secrets, joys, sorrows and disappointments of a family from the mouth of our sweet, mischievous yet sad and sorrowful hero. Love, marriage, family life, states of insanity, femininity, motherhood, desires, the human being herself... This is an enthusiastic, musical novel in which the heroes play and dance as they please. A warm breath smelling of rose delight right next to your ear tells more and more... Sebnem Isigüzel surprises her readers again by writing the most sugary and optimistic novel.
