Boundless Solitude

"When Handan Sarp, a soprano at the Istanbul City Opera, meets Elem, a young seamstress, her world is rent asunder. Handan struggles to come to terms with herself as a lesbian in a society in which same-sex love is vilified and opera is seen as the domain of the elite. Handan has always questioned socially accepted notions of love, sex and morality, but her revolt comes with a bitter price to pay"--Page 4 of cover.
