Karanfil and Yasemin, which was serialized in 1923 and first published as a book in 1924, shows how masterful a writer Mehmet Rauf, who gained deserved fame with Eylül, was in period narration. It is a very important novel. In the background of the novel, the author discusses the changing people of a changing Turkey, human relations, clothes, and tea parties; In the foreground, it presents an intense and challenging love story, examining the three heroes of this story with an exquisite analytical skill.
