| 520 | _aThe Flea Palace centers on the residents of a once-grand apartment block in Istanbul called Bonbon Palace, now run-down and full of eclectic characters. The story weaves together the lives of a womanizing academic, a cleanliness-obsessed mother and her daughter, a lapsed Jew searching for love, and others living under one roof. When the building’s rubbish mysteriously disappears, the tenants embark on a quirky and puzzling quest. Through humor and tragedy, the novel explores community, identity, and social justice. Elif Shafak uses the tiny microcosm of the palace to reflect on broader themes of belonging and shared humanity. | ||
