Penguin Books Three Daughters of Eve

Peri, a wealthy Turkish housewife, is on her way to a dinner party in Istanbul when a beggar snatches her handbag. A photograph falls to the ground - it shows three young women and their university professor. It takes her back to Oxford University, to her home with her two best friends, Shirin and Mona, and their arguments about Islam and femininity and to the scandal that tore them all apart.
