When the rubbish at Bonbon Palace is stolen, a mysterious sequence of events unfolds that result in a soul-searching quest for truth.

      Shortlisted for the 2005 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, Elif Shafak''s The Flea Palace is a moving and highly original novel about a group of individuals who live in the same building and who together become embroiled in a mystery.

      By turns comic and tragic, The Flea Palace is an outstandingly original novel driven by an overriding sense of social justice.

      Bonbon Palace was once a stately apartment block in Istanbul. Now it is a sadly dilapidated home to ten wildly different individuals and their families.

      There''s a womanizing, hard-drinking academic with a penchant for philosophy; a ''clean freak'' and her lice-ridden daughter; a lapsed Jew in search of true love; and a charmingly naïve mistress whose shadowy past lurks in the building. When the rubbish at Bonbon Palace is stolen, a mysterious sequence of events unfolds that result in a soul-searching quest for truth.
