The heart is always pure and ready; skill, however, can sometimes lead the mind astray from the path of the heart. In this thought-provoking novel, Neha Noyan—a respected figure in psychoanalysis—asks Altay, a young psychologist who admires her and eagerly seeks to interview her, to analyze her correspondence with a man from years ago. Their exchange reads like a game of chess between two souls deeply in love with science, literature, and philosophy, sharing a profound alignment of spirit.

Through this rich correspondence, Altay embarks on a journey of self-discovery, exploring themes of friendship, love, human frailty, and divine transcendence. As the letters unfold, Altay’s insights deepen, culminating in an unexpected surprise that challenges his understanding.

Deniz Başıbüyük, an accomplished author with one novel published in Canada and many in Turkey, uses this narrative to explore love—not just as a romantic notion but as a transformative force leading toward divine unity. This novel blends intellectual depth with emotional resonance, inviting readers to reflect on the interplay between heart, mind, and soul.
