Book Reviews of The Turkish Lover: A Memoir
Book Review: Another great book
Summary: 4 Stars
Esmeralda Santiago is a really great storyteller. I couldn't believe how much detail she recalls in her youth, but that's just how much of a great writer she is. As a Puerto Rican female growing up in the United States, I have really found comfort in Mrs. Santiago's books. When I read When I was a Puerto Rican, I was elated to read that someone felt the same as I had in my youth. Now Esmeralda takes us into the journey of her womanhood or as she puts it no longer a "nena decente". She falls for a man named Ulvi, her turkish lover and for the next 6 years controls her life in every which way. She is his "Chiquita", not Esmeralda. This book is wonderful, but it leaves you wanting more and more we will get. I can't wait to read her next book. I highly recommend this book as well as her two previous memoirs.
