About This Book
Translated from the Turkish by Guner Ener. Sister Shako's husband and two sons were killed as part of a vendetta. Instead of being bitter, however, she allowed her abiding faith, her harmony with the land, and her exuberant spirit to see her through. "A vivid and elegiac portrayal of an elemental wise woman and of the rural Turkey where she lived half a century ago."--Kirkus Reviews.
