Despite her father's objections, they marry when Filiz is just thirteen years old. Yunus becomes her entire universe, all-encompassing and all-powerful.

Yunus, only a few years older than his bride, transforms their marriage into a prison of dependency and violence. Filiz is subjected to physical and mental abuse, forced to veil herself, and treated as a house slave. When she becomes pregnant, Filiz seems to have reached her breaking point. Yet, she endures. As Yunus moves his young family to Istanbul and then to Austria, the life he once promised her seems within reach. However, the cycle of violence and love that has become inseparable from Filiz's life continues to haunt her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKatharina Winkler's poignant story of a marriage dominated by violence gives a voice to a resilient young woman whose determination to survive is unwavering.
