I Loved a Kurd

I Loved a Kurd Book Description
"I am from Diyarbakır, Gülşah," he said, as if confessing a fault. "And you are from Balıkesir!" he added, doubling my bewilderment. He used my name, he knew my hometown? How could this be?

"You know my name, and my hometown too? But I hadn't told you yet."

"That night, you weren't the only one who fell in love, Gülşah."

"Well, if I wasn't the only one who fell in love, why do you say it can't happen?"

"Because you and I are the west and the east of this country, because we are children of different cultures. Because we are a love destined to end in a never-ending conflict. It won't work, Gülşah, it won't work."

In this book, you will read a true love story that begins with the meeting of the handsome Şahin from Diyarbakır and the beautiful Gülşah from Balıkesir at Ege University in İzmir, and spans many years.

Gülşah and Şahin are just one of thousands who have lived this in our country. While journeying through Gülşah's memories blended with love, you will envy this passion. You will cry with them and perhaps even get angry and rebel. You will surely find bits of yourself and your surroundings within this love. Because this book is a little bit of you, a little bit of me, and a little bit of the other. It is a mosaic of Turkey...

"A blonde girl and a dark-haired handsome man were walking side by side, burning side by side."
