A Clove Necklace

A Clove Necklace is an endurance story of political and social upheavals—a multi-layered, addictive fiction with enthralling tragic historical anecdotes.

Two women from vastly different backgrounds are brought together, each falling in love with the same man in different timelines. However, Adam is conflicted and unsure of what he truly wants. His struggle is representative of the Kurds, displaced in search of safety yet facing challenges in finding genuine love. Through Adam's extraordinary love stories, we are transported back half a century into the lives of the Kurds, witnessing the bloody and tragic conflicts of history.
Adam and his father were displaced across the Sykes-Picot border and eventually settled in a village in Iraq. When Adam was eighteen, a social incident forced him to flee to the city and finally go to Baghdad, where he attended medical college. During the Gulf War, he was once again forced to move to Iran along with millions of other Kurds.

Despite facing fear, anxiety and persecution, Adam perseveres and eventually reaches the UK illegally in late 1991 and becomes a successful doctor. However, his world is turned upside down when the coronavirus pandemic strikes, and he's forced to stay confined in his small apartment in London.
