When the funeral leads to unexpected consequences, Andy has to ask himself: how far will he go to change his life?From early-twentieth-century Turkey to modern day London, Nicholas Shakespeare takes us on an extraordinary journey that explores the temptations of unexpected wealth, the secrets of damaged families and the price of being true to oneself.
