As the terrorist attacks come ever closer, Peri is moved to recall the scandal that tore them all apart. Their arguments about Islam and feminism find focus in the charismatic but controversial Professor Azur, who teaches divinity, but in unorthodox ways. As a young woman there, she had become friends with the charming, adventurous Shirin, a fully assimilated Iranian girl, and Mona, a devout Egyptian American. Competing in Peri's mind, however, are the memories invoked by her almost-lost Polaroid, of the time years earlier when she was sent abroad for the first time, to attend Oxford University. Book Description, Set across Istanbul and Oxford, from the 1980s to the present day, Three Daughters of Eve is a sweeping tale of. Over the course of the dinner, and amidst an opulence that is surely ill begotten, terrorist attacks occur across the city.
Three Daughters of Eve is set over an evening in contemporary Istanbul, as Peri arrives at the party and navigates the tensions that simmer in this crossroads country between East and West, religious and secular, rich and poor. A relic from a past-and a love-Peri had tried desperately to forget.
As she wrestles to get it back, a photograph falls to the ground-an old Polaroid of three young women and their university professor. Elif Shafaks new novel reveals such a timely confluence of todays issues that it seems almost clairvoyant.
Peri, a married, wealthy, beautiful Turkish woman, is on her way to a dinner party at a seaside mansion in Istanbul when a beggar snatches her handbag.
