The setting is a small village in southwestern Anatolia in the waning years of the Ottoman Empire. Everyone there speaks Turkish, though they write it in Greek letters. It’s a place that has room for a professional blasphemer; where a brokenhearted aga finds solace in the arms of a Circassian courtesan who isn’t Circassian at all; where a beautiful Christian girl named Philothei is engaged to a Muslim boy named Ibrahim. But all of this will change when Turkey enters the modern world. Epic in sweep, intoxicating in its sensual detail, \u003cb\u003eBirds Without Wings\u003c\/b\u003e is an enchantment.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Books on Tape, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47094747660528,"sku":"9781415916100","price":24.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781415916100_p0.jpg?v=1763726768","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781415916100","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
