'Imagine what kind of intricate, impassioned document results from a journalist in love! Stine Jensen goes in search of the social and political context of her personal experience, interviewing multiple European-Turkish couples and dissecting what makes intercultural lovers tick, and what makes them fall apart. Ultimately Jensen projects affairs of the heart onto the broader landscape of Europe’s relationship with Turkey. I can’t think of a more pleasurable way to investigate the bond between these two entities.'
Anastasia M. Ashman, an American writer married to a Turk and living in Istanbul, co-editor of the nonfiction anthology “Tales from the Expat Harem: Foreign Women in Modern Turkey”
