Carla Grissman spent the better part of a year in the 1960s living in a farming hamlet in remote Anatolia, some 250 km east of Ankara. The hospitality, the friendship and the way in which the inhabitants of Uzak Koy accepted her into their community left a deep impression, and were remembered and treasured in a private memoir.
Not published for some forty years, this is one of the most honest, clear-sighted and affectionate portraits of rural Turkey ever written—a testimony to Proverbs 15:17, "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than feasting on a fattened ox where hatred also dwells."
