On the shore of Marmara Sea, the Stone Woman stands in the garden of Iskander Pasha s summer house. Women and occasionally men come and confide to her. Some even hear her talk back.

Soon the entire family reunites and begins a family drama that will change their lives forever. The Stone Woman is the third novel in Tariq Ali s acclaimed Islam Quintet in which he has visited the twilight of the Ottoman Empire.

Although fictional, The Stone Woman is an enchanting overview of the fall of the Ottoman Empire.
