A travelogue based on the author's experiences in remote Anatoli in the 1960s, where she spent the better part of a year living with local peasant family.
Time seems to have stood still and Carla Grissmann became to be seen as a valued friend to this tight-knit community. Grissmann depicts a people on the cusp of change - with an outsider's eye and an insider's sympathy and compassion, whether she is present at the birth of a child, attending a local festival or describing the lives and timeless ritual, the foods and the smells of a rural community about to be altered forever. The book also includes striking descriptions and photographs of the people and the dwellings of Anatolia and the cave churches of Cappadocia.
