Reader's note

Yashar Kenmal's writings are always a classy and welcome addition to any bookshelf. Each year when the wind brings the news to old Halil’s keen senses that the cotton is ripe for picking in the Anatolian plain, the entire population of his remote village in the Taurus mountains set out on the arduous trek to earn by their toil enough to buy the necessities of life for the bitter highland winter. This year old Halil finds himself too old to go on foot; so does Long Ali’s broken-down nag. Halil’s determination to stay on and Meryedje’s to get him off lead to a running war of words and cunning which lights with delicious comedy the sombre drama of the march. A gem among a bounty of stunning vintage books and classic novels on our online used bookstore.
