Über diesen Titel
The year is 1992. Ka, a poet and political exile, returns to Turkey as a journalist, assigned to investigate troubling reports of suicide in the small and mysterious city of Kars on the Turkish border.
The snow is falling fast as he arrives, and soon all roads are closed. There's a 'suicide epidemic' amongst young religious women forbidden to wear their headscarves. Islamists are poised to win the local elections and Ka is falling in love with the beautiful and radiant Ipek, now recently divorced.
Amid blanketing snowfall and universal suspicion, he finds himself pursued by terrorism in a city wasting away under the shadow of Europe. In the midst of growing religious and political violence, the stage is set for a terrible and desperate act . . .
Touching, slyly comic, and humming with cerebral suspense, Snow evokes the spiritual fragility of the non-Western world, its ambivalence about the godless West, and its fury.
'A novel of profound relevance to our present moment' The Times

Was hat Ihnen am meisten an Snow gefallen? Was am wenigsten?
The story is nice and well told, at many points confusing but yet amusing. It is a surreal documentary of common struggles between observers and participants of traditions and change for modernity.The only trouble is that the reader is the most boring and horrible reader, i have ever listened to in an audiobook. It sounds like an old-english preacher during the most boring worship ever. Often you don't realize when dialogue partners change, until it is too late. The speaker is not able to create tension or any drama at all. I would not recommend to buy this version, but read the book.
Nice Book, horrible reader
