A shy young man leaves his home in rural Turkey to learn a trade in 1920s Berlin. The city's crowded streets, thriving arts scene, passionate politics, and seedy cabarets provide the backdrop for a chance meeting with a woman, which will haunt him for the rest of his life.

Emotionally powerful, intensely atmospheric, and touchingly profound, Madonna in a Fur Coat is an unforgettable novel about new beginnings and the unfathomable nature of the human soul.

I struggled to finish this book but has to for book club. Dreadful characters without exception. Seemed like an interesting concept but incredibly boring in reality. Every major character was depressing, distasteful or both. Such a weird book.
