Snow
DETAILED SUMMARY / BACK COVER
Orhan Pamuk’s 'Snow' centers on Ka, a poet and political exile, who returns to the remote Turkish city of Kars after years in Germany. Tasked with investigating a series of suicides among young women, Ka finds himself isolated by a severe snowstorm, caught between love, danger, and the intense collision of secular and Islamic values that mirror Turkey’s broader societal conflicts.
