Overview: The richly textured, panoramic story of an American mother and daughter stuck in the expatriate community of Ankara, Turkey, in 1975 each of them trying to discover a life in the larger world, each in way over her head
When she is twelve years old, Canada moves with her mother and father to Ankara, Turkey, where her father has been stationed by the government. It is 1975 the Cold War is in full swing and tensions in the Middle East are escalating. But in Ankara’s diplomatic community, the days are lazy and indulgent one long cocktail party. While her father routinely disappears on official business, Canada and her mother, Grace, find themselves in the company of gossipy embassy wives and wealthy Turkish women, immersed in a routine of card games and afternoons at the baths. By the time summer comes, and the city’s electricity shuts down from dawn to dusk, mother and daughter can no longer tolerate the insular society or each other.
