Notes:
What happens to me after I die? This is a question we all ask ourselves, without ever being able to unravel the mystery of death and find an answer. After her heart stops beating, Leila Tequila – a prostitute who was assaulted on a street in Istanbul – discovers that her mind stubbornly persists in holding on a little longer and a little longer… In the 10 minutes and 38 seconds that remain before she dies completely, her brain works feverishly, recalling essential episodes from her life or those of the five friends she made in Istanbul. Each memory is an open gateway to the past, completing Leila's portrait and at the same time sketching the contours of the picturesque city she chose as her home and which offers shelter to so many wronged, abused, despised people. An incredibly beautiful and disturbing novel about the miracle of life, the mystery of death and the strange realm that lies between them.
