Kurban Said
Kurban Said's Baku sits on the line between Europe and Asia, an oil city on the Caspian where a Muslim boy and a Christian girl try to build a life across faiths. The map holds the walled Old City and its Maiden Tower, the boom-era mansions and the seaside boulevard, then reaches inland to the mountain town of Shusha and closes at Ganja, as a short-lived Azerbaijani republic rises and falls.
