Kelebek is a young German woman. And she's Turkish, too. She wants to have fun with her friends, and celebrate Ramadan with her family. She loves the Blue Mosque in Istanbul - and she loves Janosch. Her feelings are so precious and fragile, she is afraid to tell anyone about them. But Sercan, her brother with whom she used to share all secrets soon notices that Kelebek is different. He starts controlling her, to ask her insisting questions. And as he finally knows his sister's secret, he's full of hatred. He hates Janosch, and his sister Kelebek - and he threatens to lose control…
Like no other Jana Frey succeeds in putting herself into the place of her juvenile protagonists and recount a story that is deeply moving. In Kelebek she has created a protagonist who is strong and sensitive at the same time. A young woman who is torn apart between two cultures and has the courage to cross borders and yet remain faithful to herself.
