Dschinns

A family caught up in the past and present. Hüseyin has worked in Germany for thirty years, and now he is finally fulfilling his dream: an apartment in Istanbul. Only to die of a heart attack on the day of his move. His family travels from Germany for the funeral. Fatma Aydemir's grand social novel tells the story of six completely different people who are related by chance. Each of them carries their own baggage: secrets, desires, wounds. However, what unites them is the feeling that someone is watching them in Hüseyin's apartment. With great force and beauty, "Dschinns" questions the concept of family, looking deeply into the history of the past decades and far into the future. Fatma Aydemir's bestseller in paperback. Nominated for the German Book Prize 2022.
