Through dreams, memories, and an unforgettable host of characters--the lonely Mustafa who cares only for the fate of his beloved poplar tree back home on the Anatolian plain, the tragic Madame Suslova who recalls memories of a lover who squandered her money on the roulette tables of Istanbul, and the members of the Coci family who make their desperate way through the Fréjus Tunnel--readers experience the constant state of longing and displacement associated with immigration and exile. </p>
