        by Muazzez Tahsin Berkand

        Neriman is the daughter of the wealthy factory owner Hikmet. Her mother dies when she is very young and her father marries Fehime. Soon, her father dies as well, and she is left alone with her step-mother. Fehime tries so hard to isolate Neriman from her father’s circle of friends. She treats the young woman as if she is mentally ill. Fehime informs a friend of her late husband, that the young girl needs to be treated in a hospital. This friend, Feridun comes to visit Neriman. When he meets the young woman, he sees that she is in perfect mental condition. He comes up with a secret plan. He arranges an ambulance which brings the young woman to a friend. This friend is Ş aziye, a middle aged woman. Her son Ömer, is a charming young man, and Feridun offers him a big fortune on the condition of marrying Neriman. However, the marriage will be a fake one, happening only to prevent the step-mother taking over all the properties. The young man accepts the offer. They meet a few minutes prior to the wedding, and it turns out to be a total disappointment for Ömer. Neriman, in her torn clothes, unmade hair and very exhausted looks, is in no way attractive for him. They sign the forms, and he immediately leaves the wedding hall. Neriman goes on a long vacation to rest a bit and comes back to Istanbul as a rejuvenated charming woman. Neriman and Ömer meet again, and this time he feels attracted to her. The young married couple starts everything over.

        Gallipoli - 100 Years

        A Comprehensive Study and Guide to Visiting

        by Michael Mathews

        The only contemporary ‘one stop shop’ to Gallipoli and the campaign, with much of the content distilled by the author from walking the battlefields over many years. This is a measured sequential guide to visiting all the battlefield sites: when to visit; how to get there; being there, and where to stay. Included in this book are: biographies of the commanders (British, Australian, New Zealand, French and Turkish); events leading to the campaign; preparations; the plan; Turkish defenses; the landings and all the major military and naval actions at all three theatres of operation (Anzac, Helles and Suvla); dedicated chapters on submarine and aircraft actions; Turkish and Allied order of battle; VC recipients; all cemeteries and their details. There are eight walks or challenges and two one day tours (one never covered) to the site of General Hamilton’s HQ during most of the campaign on Gökçeada Island (Imbros). Forty eight full colour and ten sepia high gloss pages of photographs; detailed diagrams; and low level aerial and satellite images make it easy to better understand key battlefield locations, the campaign and Gallipoli (both then and now). There is a comprehensive index, timeline and useful Turkish words and numbers.
