About this title: After a twenty-year absence, Mary Lee Settle returns to the land she calls the happiest home she has ever known.

"Ms. Settle writes engagingly of early days living in Turkey, and how she became a lifelong fan of all things Turkish. Much of the book is devoted to her travels through central and eastern Turkey in search of particular archaeological remains. She is a comfortable companion, and provides many nice descriptions and vignettes of Turkish daily life. Ms. Settle's style didn't really appeal to me, but this is certainly a good read for those who are interested in Turkey, or planning to visit there."
