By turns comic and tragic, Elif Shafak's The Flea Palace is an outstandingly
original novel driven by an overriding sense of social justice.
Bonbon Palace was once a stately apartment block in Istanbul. Now it is a sadly
dilapidated home to ten wildly different individuals and their families.
There's a womanizing, hard-drinking academic with a penchant for philosophy; a

the garbage at Bonbon Palace is stolen, a mysterious sequence of events unfolds
that result in a soul-searching quest for truth.
