When it comes time to marry, there is no better match for the fashionable young Bihter than the handsome widower Adnan Bey: He’s wealthy, he lives in the largest house on the Bosphorus, and he makes her manipulative mother inordinately jealous of her. Yet Bihter’s successful marriage plot does not mean that all is perfect in her new home. Her stepdaughter makes herself Bihter’s rival, and her husband’s nephew ignites in her an overwhelming desire. Having inspired devotion in Turkey for over a century and several film and television adaptations of extraordinary popularity throughout the Middle East, The House on the Bosphorus (or Forbidden Love, as it’s known in Turkey) now takes its place in English alongside Madame Bovary, Anna Karenina, and The Age of Innocence as one of the world’s great novels of seduction, longing, and social aspiration.

Reviews
“An audacious tale about the rise and fall of two households . . . patrolled by false, disreputable mothers, and daughters who are unprotected from the demands of men, and from the dictates of their own flesh. Their feverish minds are the true astonishment of the novel. . . . The House on the Bosphorus has become a permanent sensation. . . . Illicit or perverse relations . . . unfold in the novel’s lurid imagination: adultery, incest, necrophilia. . . . [Its] amorality was as shocking as the novel’s immensely opulent style.” —Merve Emre, from the Introduction
