Halide's gift

Frances Kazan

"Set in the mysterious world of Constantinople in the dying days of the Ottoman empire, Halide's Gift is the story of a family with a secret. At the heart of Frances Kazan's spellbinding novel are two sisters, one flamboyant and mischievous, the other shy and full of dreams, bound by an extraordinary friendship and torn apart by their love of radically different men." -- Jacket.
