But his grandfather’s will raises more questions than it answers. Kemal has left the family estate to a stranger thousands of miles away, an aging woman in a retirement home in Los Angeles. Her existence and secrecy about her past only deepen the mystery of why Orhan’s grandfather would have left their home to this woman rather than to his own family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Intent on righting this injustice, Orhan boards a plane to Los Angeles. There, over many meetings, he will unearth the story that eighty-seven-year-old Seda so closely guards--the story that, if told, has the power to undo the legacy upon which Orhan’s family is built, the story that could unravel Orhan’s own future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Moving between the last years of the Ottoman Empire and the 1990s, \u003ci\u003eOrhan's Inheritance\u003c\/i\u003e is a story of passionate love, unspeakable horrors, incredible resilience, and the hidden stories that haunt a family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “A remarkable debut from an important new voice . . .
