Setting


Haiku:
the snow is falling
lost souls trapped in the city
where can they all go?

The novel takes place in Kars which is a secluded town in Turkey. The town is known as a gloomy place filled with poverty. While Ka is there, Kars becomes isolated because of the snow; all roads to neighboring towns are closed. There are continuous clashes among political parties and religious views. Because of this, the roads are often empty due to the curfew set upon by the military.
