About the item

Review ------ “An illuminating view of post-imperial attitudes and relationships from a very different empire.” - Asian Review of Books “Scott tracks the vine of Turkish influence, ‘architectural, political and social,’ that laces through the Levant and the Balkans.” - New York Times Book Review “Scott roams through elements of the Ottoman Empire in this bright travel narrative. She laces history with footloose journeying and the result is a restless, kaleidoscopic, and chromatic portrait of a land in flux.” - Christian Science Monitor “An ambitious travel memoir/history, tracing the footsteps of ‘descendants of ancient minorities that were allowed to flourish in the empire, and [were] then intimidated, ignored or expelled from modern Turkey.’ The author grounds her thoroughly researched narrative in history and past travel accounts, and she injects it with earnest, wry observations and personal interviews with the many interesting people she met along the way. In her quest to understand her complicated, tense childhood, Scott treats us to a lively grand tour of the lost Ottoman Empire and shows how contemporary leaders exploit simplified versions of history to support nationalist agendas.” - Kirkus Reviews (starred) “An inful and easily approachable combination of travelogue and history. Essential reading for those interested in how historical mythologies warp and contort individual lives.” - Publishers Weekly “Scott―whose mother is Turkish and whose her is British―gives both an insider’s intimacy and an outsider’s necessary remove to this excellent survey.” - Booklist “A brilliant travelogue. Beautifully written. This book is only Scott's second, yet she writes with a maturity and in that belies her age, and is surely a rising star of the literary world. Her overall message is one of optimism: that identity is as much about language as it is about location and religion; and that a 'shared culture' will trump jingoistic national differences. ” - The Telegraph (UK) “Alev Scott approaches the crisis in the Eastern Mediterranean by side roads and unfrequented channels. Her book is clear, bright, humane, and never disheartened.” - James Buchan, author of 'Days of God' “Beautifully written with clear-eyed judgments and a sharp ear for fascinating anecdote and memorable characters. Exhilarating and often eye-opening, it shows this crucial region of the world from a new perspective. Essential reading for anyone interested in Turkey and its history.” - Michael Wood, author of 'In Search of Shakespeare' “A lovely, lyrical, and always inful account that is as much about the present as the past. A joy from start to finish.” - Peter Frankopan, New York Times bestselling author of 'The Silk Roads Read more ( javascript:void(0) ) About the Author ---------------- Alev Scott was born in 1987 to a Turkish mother and a British her. She studied Classics at New College, Oxford, where she was taught by Robin Lane Fox. After graduating, she worked in London as an assistant director in theater and opera before moving to Istanbul in 2011.
