The new novel by Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk, 'The Woman with Red Hair', immerses us in a story of love and parricide set in 1980s Istanbul. On the outskirts of the city, a master well digger and his young apprentice are hired to find water on a barren plain. As they dig, an almost father-son bond is born between them, but everything changes when the teenager falls in love with a mysterious woman with red hair. This first love will mark the rest of his days, as Turkey undergoes an irreversible transformation. Pamuk intertwines fable, mythology, and contemporary tragedy, exploring the foundational myths of the West and East: Sophocles' Oedipus Rex and the story of Rostam and Sohrab.
