The Turkish Lover: A Memoir | |
Enthralled admirers of Esmeralda Santiago's memoirs of her childhood have yearned to read more. Now, in The Turkish Lover, Esmeralda finally breaks out of the monumental struggle with her powerful mother, only to elope into the spell of an exotic love affair. At the heart of the story is Esmeralda's relationship with "the Turk," a passion that gradually becomes a prison out of which she must emerge to become herself. The expansive humanity, earthy humor, and psychological courage that made Esmeralda's first two books so successful are on full display again in The Turkish Lover.
"Certain wondrous minds can set their existence to a majestic soundtrack and discern the magical in even the most ordinary of days...Esmeralda Santiago is one such creature.... In the end, she's also telling us the story of how sometimes we're fighting for our lives, even when we don't know it." -Los Angeles Times
"From sheltered jibara in the countryside of Mac9Cn, Puerto Rico, to free-spirited urban Latina artist in New York and Boston...[Santiago] has crushed cultural taboos, reflected the angst of Latinas coming of age in two cultures and inspired readers around the country." -Miami Herald
