Değişen Kafalar’da Thomas Mann, kadim bir Hint hikâyesinden yola çıkarak kimliğin en kırılgan yerini hedef alır: “Ben” dediğimiz şey, akılda mı yaşar, bedende mi? Bir kaza sonucu başlar yer değiştirir; sevgi, sadakat ve tutku ise bu beklenmedik değişimin içinde yönünü kaybeder. Aynı yüz, başka bir zihinle; aynı zihin, başka bir bedenle yaşamak zorunda kalınca, aşk bile kendi gerçeğini sorgulamaya başlar. Mann’ın ironisi, anlatının her kıvrımında hissedilir: Kahramanlar “doğru” olanı ararken, okur da bir sorunun etrafında dönüp durur. Seçim kime aittir?

It began with the sound of laughter—faint, familiar, and entirely out of place. Tiara Water paused on the cobbled path outside her grandson’s school, the morning sun warming her back, unaware that within minutes her world would tilt.

In the quiet corners of their home, behind the locked door of an old safe, lay the proof—letters, photographs, a life she was never meant to see.
