An intensely powerful new novel from the best-selling author of The Bastard of Istanbul and Honour - available for pre-order now 'In the first minute following her death, Tequila Leila's consciousness began to ebb, slowly and steadily, like a tide receding from the shore. But they did not shut down.Not right away...'For Leila, each minute after her death brings a sensuous memory: the taste of spiced goat stew, sacrificed by her father to celebrate the long-awaited birth of a son, the sight of bubbling vats of lemon and sugar which the women use to wax their legs while the men attend mosque, the scent of cardamom coffee that Leila shares with a handsome student in the brothel where she works.
