Warm up your winter with my two favourite Turkish authors!

Warm up your winter with my two favourite Turkish authors!

My genre choice is romance / philosophy

I loved reading the 40 Rules of Love by Elif Shafak, she has many titles under her name ; The Bastard of Istanbul , Flea palace and Black milk to name some.

She is a female author that takes one on a soulful journey, in Black milk she has written about the journey of motherhood and the impact of Turkish culture and customs, some of which other Asian countries follow a similiar method in preparing and transitioning to the motherhood phase.

With her book, your journey throught Turkey and its cultures while holding her inked words.

My second favourite Turkish author is Orhan Pamuk.

The Museum of Innocence - it is about a love story set in between 1970 and 1980 in Turkey.

My list of books to read :

40 Rules of Love - Elif Shafak
Flea palace - Elif Shafak
Black milk - Elif Shafak
The Museum of Innocence - Orhan Pamu
Stirring pot by a South African author , Quraisha Dawood
The blue between sky and water - A story about a Palestinian - Susan Abulhawa
Aleph - Paulo Coelho
Like the flowing river - Paulo Coelho
The alchemist - Paulo Coelho
A thousand splendid suns - Khaled Hosseini

These books have been some of my favourite reads.
