4.0 out of 5 stars
In the tradition of "house-building in remote villages" lit,
By saliero (NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beyond the Orchard (Paperback)
It started with Peter Mayle in Provence, continued through Frances Mayes in Tuscany, and here we have Azize Etham in Turkey: settlign in to a tiny village and building / renovating a family home, and entertaining family members who are based abroad.
However, I feel this book has a little more to it. Ethem is married to a Turk from a (formerly) upper class Ottoman family, so it is as much about his reconsiliation with his rather reduced circumstances. Ethem treats the locals as her allies and is always respectful of them. There is never any gruesome funny anecdotes about their "quirky" characteristics. Recommended for people who like readng about Turkish life, as I do. |
