'Many years have now gone by, and jealousy compels me to keep her name a secret, even from my readers. But I must provide a full and truthful account of what happened.'

A studious young man spends a summer helping a master well-digger search for water on a barren plain.

As the two struggle in the summer heat, they develop a filial bond neither has known before. In the nearby town where they spend their evenings, a travelling theatre group has come to stay. The young man is fascinated by the Red-Haired Woman, an alluring member of the troupe, and their brief but intense love affair drives everything else from his mind.

But in his distraction, a horrible accident occurs, which will haunt him for thirty years. Until he decides to track down the Red-Haired Woman and finally understand the fallout from that unforgettable summer . . .

Recensione

An ending that makes you immediately start the book all over again speaks for itself. (Sunday Times)

The Red-Haired Woman, like all good novels determined to deliver political and social criticism, understands that pleasure in the means of the delivery must equal the value of the thing said. (Andrew Motion Guardian)

Excellent . . . The book's final section . . . is an extraordinary piece of writing, tying the loose threads of the earlier narratives tightly together, granting us surprising new perspectives on the events of the novel. (Observer)

Some things never get obsolete, including good writing by masters like Pamuk. (New York Journal of Books)

Saturated with sympathy and sense of place, the book charts a boy's journey into manhood and Turkey's into irreversible change . . . This book sings with the power of diverse remembrance. (Financial Times)

He is a weaver of tales par excellence, with an unmatched sense for the ways that social change affect individual psychology and a restrained, genteel prose style that disguises the unruly passions just below the surface . . . Enchanting. (Wall Street Journal)
