Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945); Fiction: special features; Social impact of disasters

This is the story of seven different lives intersecting within the same subway carriage:

Mert - from Turkey, Eleanor - from England, Maria - from Russia, Olivia - from South America, Beatriz - from Spain, Marco - from Italy, and Sophie - from France. One morning, the ground quaked. The earth cracked. The city tilted. The sky fell silent. And along with hundreds of others, seven strangers found themselves in the same darkness. They clung only to each other. This is not just a story of a disaster, but of being human. Seven people born in different lands, raised speaking different languages, having lived different lives... But that morning, their pasts were left behind. Because there are moments when: No language matters, no nationality is recognized. Only the human is seen. And what remains together is examined. It is the story of lives from all over the world touching in the shadows of Istanbul. A narrative where colors, beliefs, and paths intertwine. A place where borders become meaningless, and only existence remains. It is not the earthquake itself, but the upheaval within the human being that is essential here. And that upheaval does not separate people; it unites them. Because what holds us together is not only the desire to live, but our power to remain good. And good people, while passing through time and pain, silently find a place in each other's hearts. They share hope in the midst of darkness; they approach each other not with words, but with the silent language of their hearts. Because true closeness is born not from words, but from hearts leaning silently against each other.
