Yarım Ekmek

I wonder how many people in this world are as happy as Kezik Acar after getting married? Railwayman Mustafa chooses her as his wife while she is still a bud on his branch. They are equal to each other in everything. They get along so well that happiness is never missing from their homes. Kezik has three children with her angelic husband; Their happiness becomes even stronger. But the world has many games. He also plays a game for Kezik. With an accident, she takes Mustafa, her love, her husband, her companion from Kezik's hands. The poor woman has to worry about surviving with her children before she can even grieve for her loss. They were recruiting workers to Germany in those years. Desperate writes his name. He starts working as a dishwasher in an old people's home in Duisburg, Germany. He works for years without any complaints, even sacrificing his eyes to the dirty water. But their labor is not in vain; He buys a three-storey house and raises his three children like roses. When they settle into their new dormitory and all their children establish their lives here, Kezik realizes that he can never return to the village. From now on, their homeland is Germany. The only problem is the grave of her husband, for whom she has been longing for years; Kezik wants it to be in Germany too. He puts this into his mind. First, a Turkish cemetery should be established in Germany, and then her husband's bones should be brought without breaking the heart of the relative who lives in the village and without any problems by crossing all the borders... But how?

In this book, Fakir Baykurt describes Kezik and her family. By placing it on the axis, it tells how the Turks in Germany live, what their problems are, and makes you feel the love and affection in every line. In addition, it touches upon the turmoil caused by the 1980 Revolution in Turkey, the death sentences given out of nowhere, and the socioeconomic difficulties experienced at that time, with a realistic and sincere approach.
