Three Daughters of Eve by Elif Shafak is a riveting, dual-narrative novel exploring faith, identity, and gender through the life of Peri, a wealthy Turkish housewife. Alternating between a tense dinner party in modern Istanbul and her university years at Oxford, the story focuses on Peri’s friendship with two other women—the “sinner,” “believer,” and “confused”—and the scandalous, life-altering experience with a charismatic professor that breaks them apart.
From Booker-shortlisted author Elif Shafak, comes a powerful tale of faith, love and friendship set across Istanbul and Oxford
Shirin, Peri and Mona, they were the most unlikely of friends. They were the Sinner, the Believer and the Confused.
On a spring evening in Istanbul, Peri is on her way to a dinner party – a night of luxury a far cry from her upbringing.
But when her handbag is stolen her world shifts violently. She starts to doubt how she got here: a traumatic Istanbul childhood, student years in Oxford, the rebellious professor who led her and best friends Shirin and Mona to question everything – Islam, love, life, even God – and the scandal that tore them all apart.
Over one desperate night she tries to make sense of a past she has tried to forget – but can we ever escape who we once were?
