Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"She has a particular genius for depicting backstreet Istanbul, where the myriad cultures of the Ottoman Empire are still in tangled evidence on every family tree."-The New York Times Book Review Set within a once-stately apartment block in Istanbul, The Flea Palacetells the story of Bonbon Palace, built by Russian noble migr Pavel Antipov for his wife Agripina at the end of the Tsarist reign. It is now sadly dilapidated, flea-infested, and home to ten very different individuals and their families. Elif Shafak gives us a bird's-eye insight into each apartment, and we see their comic and tragic lives unfold.
