1. Kuyruklu Yıldız Altında Bir İzdivaç
Set against the superstitions stirred by a passing comet, the novel satirizes late-Ottoman society by following a courtship and marriage that lay bare greed, vanity and social pretensions; through comic episodes and vivid characters it critiques arranged unions, opportunism and the clash between old customs and modernizing tendencies, showing how rumor, appearance and self-interest govern private life and public reputation.
