From an award-winning Turkish novelist comes a powerful English-language debut about a girl?s coming of age amid violent unrest?and her unexpected escape.A young woman climbs the tallest tree in Istanbul?s centuries-old Gülhane Park, determined to live out the rest of her days there.

Torn between the desire to forget all that has happened and the need to remember, her story, and the stories of those around her, begins to unfold.Then, unexpectedly, comes a soul mate with a shared destiny. A lonely boy working at a nearby hotel looks up and falls in love. The two share stories of the fates of their families, of a changing city, and of their political awakenings in the Gezi Park protests.
