Love in Exile

The bestselling author of Last Train to Istanbul is back with a story of love that defies all boundaries. Sabahat, a beautiful young Muslim woman, is known for her intelligence, drive, and stubbornness in her family. In the 1920s, she convinces her parents to let her pursue her education, which is rare for young Turkish women at the time. But no one, especially Sabahat herself, expects that she will fall for a handsome Armenian student named Aram during her studies.

As they spend precious moments alone together, their love begins to bloom. Despite trying to simplify her life and move on, Sabahat has no choice but to follow her heart's desire. However, Aram is Christian, and neither family approves of their relationship. With only hope to guide them, they defy age-old traditions, cross into dangerous territory, and risk everything to find their way back to each other.

One of Turkey's most beloved authors presents an evocative story of two star-crossed lovers inspired by her own family's history. Sabahattin Ali's daughter, Sevgi, wanted to end the novel with a happier ending.. His daughter, Sevgi, was determined to give the novel a happier ending.
