Society dismisses Kemal as foolish or eccentric, but to him it doesn’t matter: for love is “something to which one devote[s] one’s entire being at the risk of everything.” Throughout the stunningly long period over which his heartbreak unfolds—2,864 days, or nearly eight years—he obsessively collects thousands of objects that Füsun has touched, or that remind him of her.
