Never with Kerem

“I don’t know what time reveals, what years bring or take away, but that day, I was ready to be everything to Kerem. How can you be everything to someone? I mean, if you were in my shoes, looking into Kerem’s starry eyes and about to say, “I’m ready to be your everything, here I am,” what would you do? (...)” Just as a new love legend titled “Kerem and Selma” was about to emerge (!), this book, which recounts a wedding story that makes you exclaim “Kerem and Neverrr!” in a comedic tone, promises to turn that wide smile you won’t be able to contain from the first page to the last into frequent fits of laughter. The absurdity of traditions clashing with identities, or being internalized in a way that creates contradictions in a world constantly undergoing change and transformation... The struggle to reconcile love with marriage... Tragicomically funny scenes... Girls and mothers, even aunts, and then, of course, the men... Selma questions everyone and everything, especially herself... And Selma says: “I have something to tell. My intention is not to preach, but to share what I have heard. For I hear things worth saying. Perhaps to make life more bearable, or perhaps simply, and only, to tell it. While love is the meeting of two lonely people in a shared loneliness, I am here to become us.”
