Three Daughters of Eve

Perry was on her way to a dinner party in Istanbul when her handbag was intercepted by a beggar. As she wrestles with him to get her purse, a Polaroid picture falls, showing three girls and their illustrious Oxford professor. It is a novel about the remnants of a love that Berry desperately tried to forget and about a strange friendship that brought together Mona the Egyptian believer and Shirin the Iranian atheist, and Berry, torn between a liberal father and a conservative mother.
