Stone and Flesh

2005 (Novel)

Ulya, no stranger to loss –when she was young, her boyfriend went missing during a police interrogation, and her husband tragically died- has filled her spiritual solitude with her art and the companionship of a male friend. Now in middle age, she goes to Hamburg for the opening of a sculpture exhibition. Blown away by her host Sina, she realises she’s stayed loveless for too long. Stone and Flesh is the unforgettable account of four days of daydreams and reviving a love left unfinished, an elegy to loss and star-crossed lovers as Sina and Ulya open up to each other.
