At the end of the summer, Selin returns to Harvard and Ivan goes to California to pursue graduate mathematics.

She meets an older Hungarian mathematics student, Ivan, in a Russian language class and the two begin corresponding over email, and occasionally spend time together in person. Selin Karadağ is a freshman studying linguistics at Harvard University. It is a bildungsroman, and concerns a college freshman, Selin, attending Harvard University in the 1990s.
