Elif Shafak's Novel on Turkey at a Crossroads

Midday on WNYC | Jan 29, 2018

Internationally bestselling author Elif Shafak discusses her latest novel Three Daughters of Eve. Set over the course of an evening in Istanbul, it tells the story of Peri, a married, wealthy, beautiful Turkish woman, who comes across an old polaroid of herself with two university friends and their professor. She reflects on their arguments about Islam and feminism, and recalls the scandal that tore them all apart. 

Elif Shafak will be in the House of SpeakEasy's literary cabaret, "Darkness Falls," on January 30 at 7 pm at Joe's Pub at The Public Theater.

This segment is guest hosted by Jonathan Capehart.
