Sometimes your past becomes your future…

In her new novel, while skilfully narrating the life of four youngsters who are trying to shape their future, Sezer is taking a photo of today’s Turkey. The book that eases the heavy themes like forced marriage, parental pressure and forced displacement with hope and love, is reminding the reader about the importance of courage and moving on against all odds. A fascinating story woven with sentimental details, music and poetry.
