Dawn

New novel from Sarah Jessica Parker's imprint, SJP for Hogarth. Written from behind bars by one of Turkey’s most powerful storytellers. In this collection, Selahattin Demirtaş’s stories capture the voices of ordinary people living through extraordinary times. A cleaning lady is caught up in a violent demonstration on her way to work. A five-year-old girl attempts to escape war-torn Syria with her mother by boat. In the powerful story, Seher, a young factory worker is robbed of her dreams in an unimaginable act of violence. Each story shimmers with Demirtaş’s signature humor and warmth, bringing to life the rhythms of everyday speech in Turkey and the Middle East—from hardship and adversity, freedom and hope. "
