An enthralling, multi-layered book-within-a-book that tells the story about Kuzey, a former left-wing militant and sailor who is writing a novel called The Disenchanted. The tale of his falling in love with a young woman is juxtaposed with his descent, five years later, into alcoholism. Against the backdrop of a beautiful peninsula in Western Turkey, The Disenchanted is a modern and edgy novel weaving memory and place.
