Madonna in a Fur Coat by Sabahattin Ali.
Sabahattin Ali's novel places a story of love and longing against the life of Berlin in the 1920s. A coming-of-age narrative becomes an exploration of the attachments that continue to shape a person.
The book invites readers to consider how much of another life remains invisible from the outside. Its emotional force makes it a useful starting point for a discussion of loneliness, memory and missed understanding.
Edition notes: The cover represents the Other Press paperback (ISBN 9781590518809). Apple Books offers the ebook (9781590518816). Both are translated from the Turkish by Maureen Freely and Alexander Dawe.
