A week or so ago I connected with a teacher in Istanbul via Twitter. I told her about my Turkish translation, GIZEMLI NEHIR (THE RIVER). She was interested in it and since she teaches English, she's considering using THE RIVER as a novel study. I am always thrilled when a teacher wants to study one of my books!
The teacher then went to the Istanbul Book Fair, and tonight on Twitter she shared two photos with me...
I thought maybe she'd propped up the one book for the photo, but she says it was like that when she first saw it. I find it amazing that out of thousands of books, she noticed mine.
Fate?
Destiny?
Regardless, this was a huge thrill for me. :-)
I am still doing the Happy Dance, thrilled that my book was featured at such a huge book fair...so very far away from where I live. Another country. Another world.

I would certainly prefer to read more foreign fiction which were translated from Turkish translation to english, or in any languages.Because in that way I could have an idea what do people think,feel or their culture is.When we read books from a foreign country it seems like travelling in that country through the stories plot.We could recognize how they have been living afar from our own culture.
