{"product_id":"the-flea-palace","title":"The Flea Palace","description":"Shortlisted for the 2005 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, Elif Shafak's The Flea Palace is a moving and highly original novel about a group of individuals who live in the same building and who together become embroiled in a mystery.\n\nBy turns comic and tragic, The Flea Palace is an outstandingly original novel driven by an overriding sense of social justice.\n\nBonbon Palace was once a stately apartment block in Istanbul. Now it is a sadly dilapidated home to ten wildly different individuals and their families.\n\nThere's a womanizing, hard-drinking academic with a penchant for philosophy; a 'clean freak' and her lice-ridden daughter; a lapsed Jew in search of true love; and a charmingly naïve mistress whose shadowy past lurks in the building. When the rubbish at Bonbon Palace is stolen, a mysterious sequence of events unfolds that result in a soul-searching quest for truth.\n\n'Picaresque' Guardian\n\n'Hyperactive and hilarious' Independent\n\n*** ELIF SHAFAK'S NEW NOVEL, THERE ARE RIVERS IN THE SKY, IS AVAILABLE NOW ***\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 024120190X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.024120190X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Shafak, Elif\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
