Her brain cells, having run out of blood, were now completely deprived of oxygen. But they did not shut down. Not right away . . . '\u003cbr\u003eOur brains stay active for ten minutes after our heart stops beating. For Tequila Leila, each minute brings with it a new memory: growing up with her father and his two wives in a grand old house in a quiet Turkish town; watching the women gossip and wax their legs while the men went to mosque; sneaking cigarettes and Western magazines on her way home from school; running away to Istanbul to escape an unwelcome marriage; falling in love with a student who seeks shelter from a riot in the brothel where she works. Most importantly, each memory reminds Leila of the five friends she met along the way - the friends who are now desperately trying to find her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Elif+Shafak\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eElif Shafak\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elif Shafak","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376887775395,"sku":"9780241293874","price":330.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780241293874_1bc67a67-b2ba-43be-b994-f50a2175aaa2.jpg?v=1776460132","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780241293874","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
