In the city of Mardin, near Turkey's border with Syria, the orphaned Avdo finds purpose when an old mason takes him on as an apprentice. From Master Josef, he learns the importance of their art, which looks after the dead and bears witness to their lives. Avdo then travels the country and meets a woman he loves wholeheartedly, only to lose her through a tragic crime. Resigned to a lonely existence, he retreats from the world into his cemetery workshop, but even there, life, with all its sorrows, joys, injustices, and gifts, draws him in unexpected directions. An intimate, indelible epic, Stone and Shadow melds fragments not only from twentieth-century Turkish history, but also from the Ottoman Empire, the wider Middle East, and Europe. Together they form a breathtaking picture of a rich, complex society that encompasses Christians, Sunni Muslims, Alawites, Turks, Kurds, and Armenians"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Cultural property $z Middle East $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cultural property $z Turkey $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Dawe, Alexander, $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230606011226.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230603010152.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F43A166401D311EEACDD33752EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
