I always devour all the books written by a Turkish writer, Elif Shafak. I deeply connect with the way she tells the stories of people from the peripheries of the society and how she gives the voice to the voiceless. In her books Elif Shafak always shows a rather nuanced perspective and avoids stereotyping.I find Elif’s writing emotionally sensitive and compassionate. Her prose does connect with me at a deeper level and serves like a balm for my soul.
