以詩般的小說語言透視伊斯蘭世界旅居德國法蘭克福多年後，詩人「卡」決心回到土耳其小鎮凱爾斯。一來，是因為聽聞此地發生多起少女自殺事件；二來，是想與少年時的戀人伊珮珂重逢。位居邊境的凱爾斯已不是往昔的純樸小鎮，貧富、種族、政治等衝突在此上演。詩人拜訪鎮上官員、與充滿理想抱負的學生會面、接觸左派劇團分子等人，以期了解少女自殺的真相，同時想說服伊珮珂與他同返德國。然而，突來的大雪封住小鎮與外界的聯絡管道。這個在一夜之間與世隔絕的邊城，上演了一場緊張激烈的直播劇，改變了小鎮裡每個人的命運…… 在這本小說中，帕慕克藉由詩人之眼，探討了孤寂與創作的連結、宗教與文學的意義，闡述自身對伊斯蘭文化與西方衝擊等議題的觀察。在眾多角色時而對立時而交錯的對話中，帕慕克為我們開啟了一扇理解伊斯蘭文化的窗口。
