Song of the Raven

Neslihan Acu, in The Raven's Song, tells the tragicomic story of a Cretan immigrant family through the language of a girl.
The novel is innocent and at the same time mischievous. The hero Asu begins to trace his consciousness from Crete. From there, it takes the reader to the 60s and 70s, to the childhood/adolescence years spent on an island in the Ma
mara Sea and in a suburb of Istanbul. While chasing memories, he questions the "big family", the concept of migration, love and friendship.
With Neslihan Acu's fluent language and ironic narration, The Song of the Raven is a festive novel... A story of existence that is both sad and funny. .
"I turned back and looked at the receding Full Moon... Was this girl who walked away without looking back "kitty"?.. It suddenly dawned on me that we had not seen each other for almost a year until this encounter. That last unpleasant moment I tried to forget him after that day, and I almost succeeded. However, what happened now seemed so strange. How could it be that we had not seen each other for so long? And what was even more scary... How could we never see each other again? And suddenly I realized that it was so strange. , it wasn't just Dolunay who was moving away from me, my entire childhood, even my youth was walking away from me."
