About this book

The Architect's Apprentice is a 2014 historical novel by Elif Shafak, set in the sixteenth-century Ottoman Empire. Jahan, a boy of twelve who has escaped an abusive stepfather, arrives in Istanbul by boat with a young white elephant from India that was meant as a gift for the sultan. He becomes the elephant's keeper, names it Chota ("little") and looks after it in the palace menagerie, and in time he becomes an apprentice to the renowned architect Mimar Sinan.
