In the glow of a late summer morning, family gather for the 100th birthday of the famous artist Shirin Saka. It ought to be a time of fond reminiscence, looking back on a long and fruitful artistic career, on memories spanning almost a century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the deep past is something Shirin has spent a lifetime trying to conceal. Her grandchildren, Nur and Fikret, and great-grandchild, Celine, do not know what she's hiding, though they are intimately aware of the secret's psychological consequences. The siblings invite family friend and investigative journalist Burak along to interview Shirin – in celebration of her centenary, and also in the hope of persuading her to open up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEventually Shirin begins to express her pain the only way she knows how. She paints a story onto her dining room wall, revealing a history wiped from public consciousness and generations of her family's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Fiercely intelligent, finely textured and achingly beautiful.' \u003cb\u003eElif Shafak\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40324563796065,"sku":"9781800247000","price":24.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_28591147.jpg?v=1775074050","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781800247000-at-the-breakfast-table","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
