<p><b>*LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 BOOKER PRIZE*</b><br><br><b>*LONGLISTED FOR THE 2026 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION*</b><br><br><b>A <i>New York Times Book Review</i> Book Club Pick</b><br><br><i>A woman discovers that her bathroom has been remodeled into a prison cell-where she is an unlikely inmate-in this surreal novel of exile, grief, memory, and migration. </i><br><br>In Salerno, Italy, Dilara spends her days caring for her aging father and her hypochondriac husband. Since leaving her native Istanbul, she's been unable to find a job-adrift, she becomes increasingly fixated on domestic improvement, specifically on the renovation of a second bathroom. When the work is completed, she enters and finds herself not in a bathroom but in a prison cell, and a Turkish one at that. <br><br>As she tries and fails to conceal the discovery from her husband, she confronts the prison's other inhabitants-the buffoonish guards who refuse to believe her conundrum; the other women who begin filling the cells beyond hers-and the strange things that drift through it: the smell of the Bosporus, her mother's voice, calls to prayer . . . <br><br>This slender, disquieting first novel tells a story of modern migration like no other. <i>The Renovation</i> is a tragic comedy of displacement, a story that remodels its own form to the dazzling inevitable end.</p>
