The Flea Palace by Elif Shafak

The Flea Palace by Elif Shafak

Bonbon Palace was built by a Russian émigré for his wife in the 1960s and is now infested, damp and stinking. Each of its ten flats gets its own history: a hairdresser, a Blue Mistress, an alcoholic academic, twin brothers, a woman with obsessive compulsive disorder who scrubs everything.

The smell is the plot, and tracing its source takes the reader through the building's foundations and a cemetery that was there first. Shafak writes Istanbul as a place where every surface has something buried under it, and the ten stories interlock more tightly than they first appear.

An early novel by the Booker-shortlisted author, and one of her most inventive.
