«Una de las escritoras turcas contemporáneas más populares y reconocidas.» --El País

Más que una ciudad, Estambul parece un gran barco de ruta incierta, cargado de pasajeros de distintas nacionalidades, lenguas y religiones. Esa es la imagen que acompaña a la joven Armanoush, que viaja desde Arizona para visitar por primera vez la ciudad y descubrir sus orígenes. Lo que ella aún no sabe es que su familia armenia y la de su padrastro turco estuvieron ligadas en el pasado, y que la vida en común de los dos pueblos fue un día apacible.

Pronto Armanoush conocerá a ese clan peculiar, donde solo hay mujeres porque los hombres tuvieron a bien morir jóvenes o irse lejos para olvidar sus pecados. En el centro del retrato aparece Zeliha, la mujer rebelde que un día quedó embarazada y decidió no abortar. Fue así como nació Asya, que ahora tiene diecinueve años, y pronto será amiga de Armanoush. La amistad entre las dos jóvenes acabará revelando una historia vieja y turbia, una relación que nació y murió en la pura desesperación, pero las damas de la familia sabrán cómo resolver incluso este percance.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A "vivid and entertaining" (Chicago Tribune) tale about the tangled history of two families, from the author of The Island of Missing Trees (a Reese's Book Club Pick)

"Zesty, imaginative . . . a Turkish version of Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club." --USA Today

As an Armenian American living in San Francisco, Armanoush feels like part of her identity is missing and that she must make a journey back to the past, to Turkey, in order to start living her life. Asya is a nineteen-year-old woman living in an extended all-female household in Istanbul who loves Jonny Cash and the French existentialists. The Bastard of Istanbul tells the story of their two families --and a secret connection linking them to a violent event in the history of their homeland. Filed with humor and understanding, this exuberant, dramatic novel is about memory and forgetting, about the need to examine the past and the desire to erase it, and about Turkey itself.

Great product, mic and camera compatible
I bought this to use a webcam with a built-in mic on my Microsoft Windows Surface Pro 8. When I first plugged in the webcam both the camera and the mic were recognized, however the mic was not picking up sound. After double checking the device settings, my privacy settings, the device drivers, and everything else I simply unplugged and replugged the camera in. Then everything worked as I had hoped. Great value for a great product. I trust Anker to reliably protect and provide stability for all of my devices. Simple product, plug and play. Sleek, simple design

Great piece of equipment. Worked for mouse, hard drive, and digital camera all into a laptop.
Works great. I used to plug in a mouse, an external hard drive, and an overhead Nikon digital camera for historic digitization of documents and books. It small and compatible and there were no connection or power problems. It feels well built and sturdy and the cord connection to the device is strong and flexible.

Great for retro emulation!
Got this for a retro emulation setup. Worked great. No issues whatsoever. Works on apple as well. Its a basic usb hub, but doesn't feel cheap. Got it on sale, which made it even better!
