About this title

Review:

Destined to become a classic...it will also surely be required reading for everyone wanting original anthropological insights into the daily life and tensions of minorities in the Levant a generation ago... Mother Land is an achievement that will survive.
--Cornucopia, Issue 42 Sep/Oct 2009

Mother Land is an unusual autobiographical novel based on exquisite descriptions of a childhood spent on the Aegean island of Bozcaada, and coloured by the opposition of hostile Greek and Turkish cultures...The fine writing here explores themes of loss and belonging, set against the changing light of an island childhood.
--The Daily Telegraph, Monday 26 October 2009

His writing is both evocative and poetic, but never pretentious. --Financial Times, 31 October 2009

This is a powerful and compelling book.
--Geographical magazine, October 2009
