Summary:  "Twenty-year-old Sibel plans to spend the summer in Istanbul studying for the MCAT and visiting her father's grave. Instead, she finds herself watching Turkish soap operas with her grandmother and self-diagnosing her own possible chronic illness with the four humors theory of ancient medicine. Sibel is already fascinated with the human body. Is it possible an imbalance of blood, bile, choler, and phlegm is the cause of her physical illness and emotional turmoil? Sibel's blond American boyfriend, who accompanies her to Turkey, is known among their friends for being kind--most likely a sign of the best humor, blood. Her grandmother seemed phlegmatic because of her Parkinson's, but once she begins to reveal her obscure past, Sibel reconsiders this diagnosis. As Sibel unravels the secrets that her family has kept from her, the narrative weaves through periods of political unrest in Turkey, from military coups and sweeping language reforms to the Gezi Park protests and the Cyprus crisis. Mina Seçkin's The Four Humors illuminates a family and society fractured by moral panic, national pride, and tumultuous restructurings of the state. Sibel's search for strange and unusual cures is disrupted as she starts to see how she might heal by taking care of others and reconciling a long-standing family dispute"--From publisher.
