Summary of Hannah Shah's The Imam's Daughter by Everest Media, Pdf
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I wake to the sound of one hand clapping. It is my mother banging on the cellar door above me. The air was filled with the scent of lavender just before the air was filled with the soft, heady scent of lavender. I was lying in a field, lilac-purple flowers swaying gently above me. I was safe. I was happy. #2 I spend my days in my world of make-believe, the Lavender Fields and the Loneliness Birds. I find my escape from the darkness there. I am not affected by the English ways, like a lot of young girls I could mention. #3 I had a street in England named after me. It was a typical Asian street in the early 1980s: a close-knit community where everyone knew each other. I was offered drinks and food whenever I went to my friends’ houses. #4 My family lived near a few Armenians and a single white lady. The rest of our street’s residents were Pakistani Muslims.

This gorgeous, haunting saga tells the story of modern Turkey and its diverse communities through the life of a gravestone maker. 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.
