Alarmed by this unusual coincidence, the narrator sets off to investigate a possible murder in a city she knows only from childhood holidays and a recent love affair. Family secrets, poisonous plants, and a blinding dislike for her uncle, lead the narrator to jump to the wrong conclusionHumorous and moving, Zakkum is a unique story and a refreshing glimpse into gay life in Istanbul.
