An American couple's impulsive decision to buy a house on one of Istanbul's Princes' Islands leads first to a series of encounters with architects, bureaucrats, workmen, and disapproving friends and family...but finally to a new life infused with the sense of joy and contentment known as KEYIF. This small island close to the heart of Istanbul emerges as a microcosm of Turkey's deep traditions and rapid modernization. M.A. Whitten's book is an affectionate and insightful look at today's Turks and what makes them and their country so delightful.
