Twenty-year-old Sibel thought she
had concrete plans for the
summer. She would care for her
grandmother in Istanbul, visit her
father’s grave, and study for the
MCAT. Instead, she finds herself
watching Turkish soap operas
and self-diagnosing her own possible chronic illness with the four
humors theory of ancient medicine.
Also on Sibel’s mind: her blond
American boyfriend who accompanies her to Turkey; her energetic but distraught younger sister;
and her devoted grandmother,
who, Sibel comes to learn, carries
a harrowing secret.
Delving into her family’s history,
the narrative weaves through
periods of political unrest in
Turkey, from military coups to the
Gezi Park protests. Told with
pathos and humor, Sibel’s search
for strange and unusual cures is
disrupted as she begins to see
how she might heal herself
through the care of others, including her own family and its
long-fractured relationships.
