Two girls

by Perihan Mağden

"It's summer in Istanbul and the body of a young man is discovered in a local lake. The air is oppressive as Behiye prepares to enter one of Turkey's most prestigious universities. Angry, overweight, embarrassed by her parents and contemptuous of her older brother - who is traumatised after serving as an army commando - Behiye longs for some salvation from her teenage despair. In the week before she starts university she is introduced to Handan - a beautiful, gentle girl who will change Behiye's life forever." "In spite of their different backgrounds, the two girls embark upon an intense relationship and a secret plan to escape their dysfunctional families."--Jacket.
