Firstly, I would like to wish my father a very Happy Birthday!! However, his birthday is not the only one being celebrated today! Today is also the first anniversary of the publication of the paperback edition of The Gilded Cage on the Bosphorus, which I published in honour of my father’s 80th birthday on this day last year! Yesterday, to mark the occasion, I organised a ‘Book Birthday Blitz’ Blog Tour following which a number of reviews, interviews and extracts have been posted by Book Bloggers.
If interested, you will find links to a selection of the Q&As in the main ‘Interviews’ tab, and links to the blogs that feature extracts from the book on the ‘Write’ Now!! page (7th July 2021). Links to some of the reviews are listed below:
“It also shows the importance of keeping the flame of our ancestors lives alight…if only in remembrance.” Beyond the Books
“There are many historical novels, obviously, but there are few which blend fact with fiction and with emotive family issues woven through the narrative.” PAJ Newman
“The Gilded Cage on the Bosphorus is not just a story of a wronged family, but also of the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century.” Debjani’s Thoughts
“I can see this making a wonderful film.” All Things Booksie
I am so grateful to all the bloggers who took part in this book tour, and feel completely overwhelmed by all the positive and very generous reviews of the book.
Happy Birthday to my wonderful father! And Happy Birthday to my book baby – The Gilded Cage on the Bosphorus!
