The Turk and my Mother

[Bullika]

The book is about a love affair between a woman a Turkish prisoner of war. The author has taken an interesting risk in merging actual family history with fiction. The result is a compelling narrative about the extraordinary and everyday magic of family life. At bottom, it’s love and magic that hold this family (and this book) together. And it’s magic of a very particular kind—the magic of forgiveness. The Turk and My Mother shows an author who is deeply wise about the ways that family mysteries hold us together and sometimes threaten to drive us apart. Mary Helen Stefaniak’s The Turk and My Mother is a rich, rewarding novel by a writer who goes to the heart of who we are.
