About the book
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."
