“The Flea Palace” is from Elif Shafak, the acclaimed writer of “The Bastard of Istanbul”; at times comic and tragic, “The Flea Palace” is an outstandingly original novel driven by an overriding sense of social justice that once again looks at Turkish culture through experienced eyes.

Bonbon Palace was once a stately apartment block in Istanbul. Now it is a sadly dilapidated home to ten wildly different individuals and their families. There's a womanizing, hard-drinking academic with a penchant for philosophy; a 'clean freak' and her lice-ridden daughter; a lapsed Jew in search of true love; and a charmingly naïve mistress whose shadowy past lurks in the building.

When the garbage at Bonbon Palace is stolen, a mysterious sequence of events unfolds that result in a soul-searching quest for truth.
