Kutlama (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781646617999)

In the early 1980's, a young man from India breaks through the confinements of an Indian prison and finds his way to Istanbul. He works with the mafia as a drug pedlar and a money launderer, slowly making his way up the organisation. He spends the rest of his time teaching English in a slum. Again and again, he falls in love, and as he thinks everything is going well, life has another cruel twist planned for him as he finds himself in the middle of a civil war in Syria.
