Madonna in a Fur Coat - by Sabahattin Ali (Paperback)

Madonna in a Fur Coat is an unforgettable novel about new beginnings, the relentless pull of family ties, and the unfathomable nature of the human soul.

This emotionally powerful and intensely atmospheric book follows a young, fragile Turkish man's love for a charismatic German artist in interwar Berlin.

With perceptiveness and compassion, Ali depicts the sexual politics of the time and the heady tension between his male and female characters.

A poignant coming-of-age tale, drenched in disillusionment, Madonna in a Fur Coat explores the gap between hope and reality, art and ordinary life, and the psychology of the principal characters.

This classic tale causes us to examine what our own lives would be like without the people we cherish.
