"An extraordinary collection of women trying to make sense of their own lives through another culture. From the disillusioned missionary to the lady roust-about, what unites them is not their backgrounds or personalities but affection for an adopted Turkish homeland. The entrance to the Harem is ajar. An addictive set of insights." -Andrew Finkel, author of Turkish State, Turkish Society and longtime Turkey correspondent for Time magazine, CNN and the Times of London
"Pulled off with finesse. An exhilarating journey through the shadows of the harem and towards the self, through the lens of a new culture and an ancient land. Turkey amazes with its desire to regenerate itself and all those who embrace it." -Ebru Keni, managing director of National Geographic Television and Film, Turkey THE EDITORS (From back cover)
