Reading with Comic-Cinema
Istanbul in the 1990s, election season: Meltem and Ece, best friends and passionate divers, live in modest conditions in a women’s student residence. After one of their dives in the Bosporus, they find themselves drawn ever deeper into a mysterious case involving a fellow student, one that reaches far into a corrupt and misogynistic political elite. A sharp and gripping work that is both a graphic novel and a feminist political thriller, inspired by the author’s own life.
