Description
The land where Turkey borders Iran is a desolate mountainous area swept nearly bare of wildlife and vegetation. Its peasant inhabitants cling to an ancient, rigidly traditional existence.Julia Warren, a young, widowed American, arrives in Tanyeri, a village in this remote part of eastern Turkey, to climb Hasan Fazi, a 14,000 foot mountain and to take part in an archaeological dig. The moment she steps from the dusty minibus that has brought her to the site of excavations into the Anatolian past, she is confronted by the unpredictable violence of the present. ISBN:0600330028
