On the outskirts of a town 30 miles from Istanbul, a master well-digger & his young apprentice are hired to find water on a barren plain. As they struggle in the summer heat, excavating w/o luck meter by meter, the two will develop a filial bond neither has known before--not the poor middle-aged bachelor nor the middle-class boy whose father disappeared after being arrested for politically subversive activities. The pair will come to depend on each other & exchange stories reflecting disparate views of the world. But in the nearby town, where they buy provisions & take their evening break, the boy will find an irresistible diversion. The "Red-Haired Woman", an alluring member of a traveling theater company, catches his eye & seems as fascinated by him as he is by her. The young man's wildest dream will be realized, but, when in his distraction a horrible accident befalls the well-digger, the boy will flee, returning to Istanbul. Only years later will he discover whether he was in fact responsible for his master's death & who the redheaded enchantress was. * ABOUT ORHAN PAMUK: ORHAN PAMUK won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006.
