ELIF SHAFAK'S NEW YORK TIMES ISTANBUL READING LIST
A GREAT GROUP READS SELECTION
SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 RUNCIMAN AWARD
LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD
At the neighborhood café where pastry chef Kosmas, charming widower Fanis, and other Rum—Greek Orthodox Christian—friends meet regularly for afternoon tea, American-born Daphne arrives with her elderly aunt. Daphne unsettles hearts, provokes jealousies, and stirs up memories of the 1955 Istanbul pogrom, forcing Kosmas and Fanis to confront their painful history in order to risk new beginnings. A shrewd and humorous tale, A Recipe for Daphne invites the reader into the kitchens, loves, and secret lives of Istanbul's most ancient community.
Nektaria Anastasiadou is the 2019 winner of the Zografeios Agon, a Greek-language literary award founded in 19th-century Constantinople. Her debut novel, A Recipe for Daphne, was shortlisted for the 2022 Runciman Award and longlisted for the 2022 Dublin Literary Award. It was also a finalist with an Honorable Mention in the 2022 Eric Hoffer Book Award and a 2021 Women’s National Book Association Great Group Read. Anastasiadou’s short stories have appeared in various literary journals, including The Markaz Review and the Greek magazine Hartis. She lives in Istanbul.
