Lost Forest of Solitude

A short story is a fiction that completes its time on its own, at its own pace. Özlem N.Yilmaz's stories are like this. They explain themselves gently, in their own time. These stories, which take their subject from the pain that has left its mark on people's lives, carry the voice of real life to the readers.
In this first story book, Özlem N. Yilmaz immediately shows that she is one of the most interesting new voices of Turkish storytelling. While this book opens the doors of our literature to a new writer, it also brings to light the things we have not dared to say much about for a long time.
“His mother stuck her head through the door and signaled him to come. He took her to the bedroom and started to dress Hicran in the only dress she wore for weddings and going out, wiping the tears streaming down her cheeks with the back of her hand. When he realized his mother was crying silently, a painful knot formed in his throat.”
