Publisher's Summary

Birds Without Wings tells of the inhabitants of a small coastal town in South West Anatolia in the dying days of the Ottoman empire: the local Potter and fount of proverbial wisdom; a Christian girl of legendary beauty; childhood friends who play in the hills above the town, and the two holy men of different faiths, who greet each other with the words 'infidel efendi'.

Magnificent achievement!

The story is deceptively simple - a folktale. And yet this work is a portrait of the best and worst of life in the universal village. All this set in the epic tragedy of World War I, a terrible earthquake with aftershocks in our own time. I will never forget the people in this novel
