With five short stories and a memoir, Zeynep Rade takes the reader through the indoor lives of the Middle East people and the unknown waters of the Bosphorus, to peer into the lives of Istanbulites wrapped in their own tale in her first English book. Rade's stories are bittersweet and have ironic layers... The people in the City of the Blind seem predestined, and yet are searching for justice. Some desire money, some crave power, some simply seek freedom.

In this city, everyone is trying to overcome the hand life has dealt them.
