The chancer's dying wish...
The Absurdities of Life - eyebrow raised.
I'll die in a warm state of grace,
If the last thing I see is your face.
But if I'm VERY ill,
T'would be much kinder still,
If you wore that wee black thing in lace.

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.
