Other side of the Mountain
June 30, 2009 by Vladimir Yelizarov
Synopsis:*
Prominent writers in Britain praise The Other Side of the Mountain:
“This is a remarkable and important novel, a powerful evocation not only of Turkish history through the twentieth century, but also of world history and of the interweaving of nationalism and ideology. The passages set in Cambridge are beautiful. The blending of the personal and the documentary is superbly handled, and the lyrical prose is finely translated. Although the story is told largely through the lives of its extraordinary and pioneering women, Atas? also writes powerfully and convincingly in the male voice. Passionate without being sentimental, The Other Side of the Mountain is a bold and poignant novel, which defines the struggles and ideals of a whole nation.”
– Margaret Drabble
