Set against the backdrop of 1923 Turkey, Rikkat’s life is devoted to the art of calligraphy, a passion threatened by Ataturk's reforms that replace Arabic script with a Latin alphabet. As the traditional art faces decline and her mentor's tragic suicide deepens her resentment, Rikkat's struggle embodies the clash between old and new. Inspired by the author's grandmother, this debut novel weaves magical realism with rich historical detail, exploring profound themes of life, death, and the essence of artistic expression.
