I love it! A book full of myths and legends. The subject is explained through two basic works. It takes place between Sophocles' Oedipus the King and the stories of Rüstem and Sührab from Firdevsi's Shahnameh. Killing the father in the first work, killing the son in the second work. It is important to master these two issues.
The book first progresses with Cem's excitement about being fatherless and finding a new father. He goes to Öngören as the apprentice of a well master. Here he sees Master Mahmut as his father. Cem does this to save money for private tuition for the university preparation exam, but everything changes when he sees the red-haired woman. Unfortunately, she leaves Mahmut Usta, whom she sees as her father, in the well and returns to her mother with her first train ticket. Even though he tries not to think about the sadness of this abandonment, he lives the pain for years. Years pass. He makes a good marriage, expands his business, and eventually becomes rich. It is a novel that you will easily understand and at the same time be very surprised by the ending, which becomes a confusing mess afterwards.
The choice was made for the son to kill the father in the story, which became a legend because the two subjects I mentioned at the beginning were used together.
I'm not very familiar with the author, but judging by the reviews, I personally liked the story told fictionally, whether people liked it or not. Will water come out of that well? Who is the red haired woman? Is Mahmut Usta dead? Will Cem be arrested? I read it with curiosity. It was a fluent book for me from start to finish and I recommend you read it.
