Book CommUnity – Meditate and Read

Set in Istanbul in 2016, Three Daughters of Eve centres on Peri, a Turkish woman who finds herself thinking back to her years at Oxford University to distract herself from a boring dinner party. Her reminiscing is triggered when she finds an old polaroid of herself, her friends Mona and Shirin, and the rebellious Professor Azur. Much of her thoughts revolve around the scandal that prevented her from graduating from her dream university. More of a commentary on religion than a story, the novel asks many questions about faith – in particular, Islam – and whether its customs and traditions can be adapted to suit modern life.

The event will take place on Zoom. You will receive a link to connect to the Zoom session 3 days prior to the event.

About the Book CommUnity – Meditate and read

The Book CommUnity explores the capacity of books to provide insights into societal realities. We will be choosing a series of quality books that address different aspects of creativity, shared values, critical thinking, non-violence and identity to read and then to discuss together at relaxed, sociable gatherings at the Intercultural Dialogue Platform. The sessions will start with a short meditation and will be followed by discussions.
