bonjour,
J´ai déjà lu Lait Noir, Bonbon Palce. Je viens de terminer La Batarde d´Istanbul. Je trouve qu´on ne parle assez de vous en France. J´ignorais que vous étiez passée en jugement en Turquie. Merci pour l´émotion, l´humour, la gravité de vos romans. Votre réflexion politique, sociale et historique m´apprends aussi beaucoup . Je vous apprécie énormément.

Dear Elif. At first I wanna say sorry for my bad English. I started to learn it 2 years ago and same time I met people from Turkey in Net. Because of them I have began to read about Turkey, Turkish language and literature. I´m reading "Bastard from Istanbul". I can feel everything what those women feel. Today I was reading about waking up Istanbul and suddenly I started to cry. Your book touched my heart so deeply. I hope I can understand my Turkish friend better now... Tesekkur ederim. Greetings from Poland.

Dear Elif,
Your book was amazing and inspirational. The way you wrote it, I can actally see the story play out in my mind very vividly. I have read many, many books, but this is the best one I have every chosen. And it is also the only one I will read many times again. The story is beautiful and real. I thank you deeply for writing this, there are really no words adequate enough to tell you how much i loved it. It explained all the things in my mind that I´ve never been able to express or say myself. Thankyou.

Dear Elif
I just finished ‚The forty rules of love’ and I am deeply touched by this story! It helped me very much to understand certain aspects of Islam which I felt in my heart but still could not name. I am a German Muslim (converted long time ago) and had always difficulties with the narrow-minded way in which Islam is practised quite often. After reading this book, I see something much deeper. Thank you so much! All the best to you!!!
