Dear Reader,THE ORACLE OF STAMBOUL is a magical historical novel about a gifted young Jewish girl who becomes an advisor to the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire and changes the course of history. It is the story of a eight-year old orphan finding her way through an exotic, evocative, and sometimes treacherous city at the heart of a crumbling empire.
"A lyrical debut...A passionate novel that beautifully conveys the flavor of Turkish culture." Kirkus Reviews
"A stunning debut...an instant classic that feels as if it should be retroactively slipped into the great libraries of the old world." Reif Larsen, author of THE SELECTED WORKS OF T.S. SPIVET
To win a signed copy of THE ORACLE OF STAMBOUL and a sample of Turkish coffee, tell me about a book that transported you to another place and time.
All the Best,
