Tales from the Expat Harem
by Anastasia Ashman & Jennifer Gokmen
Amidst all the macro theories, political analyses, and sociological overviews, I would also recommend this book because it vividly brings out the voices of expat women in Turkey today. Some of them are married to Turkish men, some of them are working or raising their kids in Turkey, and some of them have travelled throughout the country and never forgotten their experience.
