The fastest-selling novel ever in Turkish history, The New Life is the internationally acclaimed story of a young student's odyssey through the heart of Turkey in pursuit of the secrets of a magical book.'It brilliantly captures the atmosphere of the Turkish hinterland, the Anatolian steppe and its small towns, with their statues of Ataturk, greasy bars and plastic billboards.' Alain de Botton, The Times
