The smell of cedar wood

"Bêhna Dara Sincê" is Dilawer Zeraq's fourth novel - a quiet yet poignant work about memory, loss, and the traces of the past.

At its heart are Cindî and Rûstem, two people who meet in a special way in their childhood but are separated shortly after. Years full of experiences, inner struggles, and personal paths lie between them. Each carries their own story, their wounds, and their memories.

It is only much later that they meet again - in prison. There, they begin to talk about their childhood, their lost years, and the stations of their lives. Amidst fear, longing, intimacy, and inner conflicts, a novel unfolds that delves deep into the psyche of its characters and reveals the fragility of human memories.

"Bêhna Dara Sincê" tells of lost childhood days, suppressed feelings, and the shadows of the past - poetically, calmly, and full of emotional depth.
