**Portrait of a Turkish Family
by Irfan Orga.**

This is a true story about the author’s life.

Whilst this book is on audible, it is better to buy or borrow as it has photos of his life throughout.

“Irfan Orga was born into a prosperous family in the twilight of the Ottoman Empire. His mother was a beauty, married at thirteen, who lived in the seclusion of a harem, as befitted a Turkish woman of her class. His grandmother was an eccentric autocrat, determined at all costs to maintain her traditional habits. But the First World War changed everything. Death and financial disaster reigned, the Sultan was overthrown and Turkey became a republic. The family was forced to adapt to an unimaginably impoverished life. In 1941 Irfan Orga arrived in London, and seven years later he wrote this extraordinary story of his family's survival.”

Nothing to pay upfront for this one, we can each pay separtely. A gold coin to the Wildflowers kitty would be greatly appreciated on the day, but no pressure at all, it is not a requirement, it will just help towards the ever increasing costs of running the group.

Can’t wait to catch up with you all again. See you soon ❤️
