Birds Without Wings

An epic historical novel set in a small village in southwestern Anatolia during the final decades of the Ottoman Empire. The story explores the lives of Christians and Muslims living peacefully together until the tides of nationalism, World War I, and the Greco-Turkish War tear their community apart. Interweaving fictional characters with the rise of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, it's a sweeping tale of love, friendship, and the devastating effects of religious and ethnic conflict.
