As they struggle in the summer heat, excavating meter by meter without luck, the two will develop a filial bond neither has known before—not the poor middle-aged bachelor nor the middle-class boy whose father disappeared after being arrested for politically subversive activities. The pair will come to depend on each other and exchange stories reflecting disparate views of the world. But in the nearby town, where they buy provisions and take their evening break, the boy will find an irresistible diversion. The Red-Haired Woman, an alluring member of a traveling theater company, catches his eye and seems as fascinated by him as he is by her. The young man's wildest dream will be realized, but when, in his distraction, a horrible accident befalls the welldigger, the boy will flee, returning to Istanbul. Only years later will he discover whether he was in fact responsible for his master's death and who the red-headed enchantress was. A beguiling mystery tale of family and romance, of East and West, tradition and modernity, by one of the great storytellers of our time." 9780670089260
