How does one really get to know a place and its people? Live there, work there--and restore an old house! The good, bad, surprising and delightful all come to the surface as keen-eyed ex-Lonely Planet guidebook author Pat Yale so fluently explains them in A Handbook for Living in Turkey, a must-read for anyone dreaming of living or buying property in Turkey. Far more than just an entertaining personal account, Ms. Yale draws on the experience of expat residents throughout Turkey to explain the pleasures, practicalities and pitfalls for non-Turks. This is the owner's manual for your new life in Turkey.
