The Bastard of Istanbul is a compelling novel that intertwines the lives of two families—one Turkish and one Armenian—exploring themes of identity, memory, and the lingering effects of historical trauma. The story centers on Asya Kazancı, a 19-year-old living in Istanbul, and Armanoush Tchakhmakhchian, an Armenian-American from San Francisco. Their paths cross when Armanoush visits Istanbul to reconnect with her Armenian heritage, leading to a profound exploration of their shared and divergent histories. The novel delves into the complexities of cultural identity, the weight of unspoken histories, and the personal struggles of its characters as they navigate their intertwined destinies.
