Synopsis
Asli is the wife of Ishtar Azim, desperate to fulfill her role as a mother. Ishtar still cannot get over his sister's death, so her spirit is the cause of their broken marriage. He is now recognized throughout the country and beyond. His only published book, breaks all reading records. Unexpectedly, before winter sets in, at 7:50, Istanbul is overshadowed by the greatest tragedy in history. As the government tries to save the city from the ashes, questions from the past begin to arise.The truth about the dead Osman Jalal, the details in the published novel, the disappearance of the girls from the coast and one of the most deeply buried secrets in the underground of Byzantium. Seven o’clock and fifty minutes is a continuation, with two polarities of the city intertwined – the Istanbul elite and the abyss on the Sea of Marmara where organ trading is a known practice. Like the secret relic of the Vatican, thousands of years old, covered by the waves of the Bosphorus. A richly illuminating conclusion to the Kamila Jalal myth, which itself raises historical questions to which this novel has a delicate answer.
