Kiralık Konak by Yakup Kadri Karaosmanoğlu
Set against the twilight of the Ottoman order and the upheavals of the early Republican era, the novel follows a once-privileged household whose grand mansion is put up for rent and becomes the stage for personal ambitions, thwarted desires and shifting loyalties; through the tangled relationships between older guardians clinging to status and a younger generation drawn to modern ideas, it sketches the social decay, hypocrisy and painful adjustments of a class unable to reconcile tradition with the demands of a changing Turkey.
