About This Item
London: Faber, 2009 9780571237005. First Edition. First Printing. Hardback. Fine/Fine. Not price clipped, no inscriptions. Description: "The Museum of Innocence" - set in Istanbul between 1975 and 2009 - tells the story of Kemal, the son of one of Istanbul's richest families, and of his obsessive love for a poor and distant relation, the beautiful Fusun, who is a shop-girl in a small boutique. The novel depicts a panoramic view of life in Istanbul as it chronicles this long, obsessive, love affair between Kemal and Fusun; and Pamuk beautifully captures the identity crisis experienced by Istanbul's upper classes who find themselves caught between traditional and westernised ways of being. .
