Dschinns

Hüseyin has worked in Germany for thirty years and is now finally fulfilling his dream, getting a condominium in Istanbul, only to die of a heart attack on the day he moves in. His family travels from Germany to attend his funeral. Fatma Aydemir’s great societal novel tells the story of six very different people who happen to be related to each other. They all come with their own baggage: secrets, desires, wounds. What unites them, however, is the feeling that someone is watching them in Hüseyin’s flat. With power and beauty, Dschinns questions family structures and hierarchies, looking at the history of the past decades and far into the future.
