The Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk
Now a Netflix series * From the Nobel Prize winner and "one of the great novelists" (The Washington Post) comes a stirring exploration of the nature of romance in late 1970s Istanbul.It is 1975, a perfect spring in Istanbul. Kemal and Sibel, children of two prominent families, are about to become engaged. But when Kemal encounters Füsun, a beautiful shopgirl and a distant relation, he becomes enthralled. And once they violate the code of virginity, a rift begins to open between Kemal and the world of the Westernized Istanbul bourgeoisie. In his pursuit of Füsun over the next eight years, Kemal becomes a compulsive collector of objects that chronicle his lovelorn progress--amassing a museum that is both a map of a society and of his heart.
Orhan Pamuk is the author of The New Life, The Black Book, My Name Is Red, and The White Castle, among other works. He has received numerous international honors, including the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature. In Istanbul, he lives with his wife and children.
