520    Altan's Ottoman Quartet spans the fifty years between the 
       final decades of the 19th century and the post-WWI rise of
       Atatürk as both unchallenged leader and visionary reformer
       of the new Turkey. The four books tell the stories of an 
       unforgettable cast of characters, among them: an Ottoman 
       army officer, the Sultan's personal doctor, a scion of the
       royal house whose Western education brings him into 
       conflict with his family's legacy, and a beguiling Turkish
       aristocrat who, while fond of her emancipated life in 
       Paris, finds herself drawn to a conservative Muslim 
       spiritual leader. Intrigue, betrayal, love, war, progress,
       and tradition provide a colourful backdrop against which 
       their lives play out. All the while, the society to which 
       they belong is transforming, and the Sublime Empire 
       disintegrates. Here is a Turkish saga reminiscent of War 
       and Peace, that traces not only the social currents of the
       time but also the erotic and emotional lives of its 
       characters
