Since his boyhood Mevlut Karataş has fantasized about what his life would become. Not getting as far in school as he'd hoped, at the age of 12 he comes to Istanbul - "the center of the world" - and is immediately enthralled by both the old city that is disappearing and the new one that is fast being built. He follows his father's trade, selling boza on the street and hoping to become rich like other villagers who have settled the desolate hills outside the booming metropolis. But luck never seems to be on Mevlut's side.

At a family wedding Mevlut catches sight of a girl with whom he falls in love. After a secret courtship of letters passed via his cousin, she agrees to elope with him, and on a dark night the two come together for the first time. As they rush to catch a train to Istanbul, Mevlut realises he has been misled. But the die is cast, and the situation will determine the rest of his days. Over the next four decades in Istanbul, Mevlut works various jobs to support his loving wife and family - work that gives him a special perspective on his rapidly changing city and the people who live there.

يستل الكاتب التركي أورهان باموق عنوان روايته "غرابة في عقلي" من مقطع للشاعر الإنجليزي (وليام ووردزوورث)، يقول فيه "كان ثمة غرابة في عقلي وشعورلا يعود إلى ذلك الزمان ولا إلى ذلك المكان"، لينطلق منه إلى روايته التي تتغلغل في أزقة إسطنبول وبيوتها وتفاصيلها، ملتقطاً كثيراً من الأحداث وتداعياتها على الناس العاديين البسطاء الذين يعيشون على هامشها وضحاياها في الوقت نفسه.
