About this book

Elif Shafak’s “The Flea Palace” is a captivating tale centered around Bonbon Palace, an erstwhile magnificent apartment block in Istanbul. Constructed by Russian noble émigré Pavel Antipov for his wife Agripina during the Tsarist period, the building is now dilapidated and flea-ridden.

It is home to ten unique individuals and their families, each with their own intriguing stories. The book offers a panoramic view of each apartment, revealing the humorous and poignant lives within. The narrative is underscored by a profound sense of social justice.
