Book Synopsis



Entre recetas turcas y sefardíes y las costumbres heredadas de una cultura milenaria, encontrará el mejor antídoto contra la añoranza, aunque su memoria no pueda borrar el recuerdo de las lunas de Estambul.


Ventura, una hermosa joven turca, tiene que viajar a México para casarse con Lázaro porque su familia lo ha dispuesto así. Con un baúl con apenas pertenencias y la ilusión de enfrentarse a lo desconocido, se embarcará en un viaje sorprendente para comenzar una nueva vida lejos de su tierra natal. La llegada, su primer matrimonio, el segundo, sus hijos, su viudez, sus nietos, el regreso a Turquía: Ventura vivirá cada acontecimiento con una profunda intensidad e irá aderezando sus días con la riqueza de aromas, sabores, ritmos, colores y proverbios que trajo consigo del lejano Oriente.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


Among Turkish and Sephardic recipes and customs inherited from an ancient culture, you will find the best antidote to homesickness, even though your memory cannot erase the recollection of the moons of Istanbul.


Ventura, a beautiful young Turkish woman, has to travel to Mexico to marry Lázaro because her family has arranged it that way. With a trunk barely filled with belongings and the excitement of facing the unknown, she embarks on a surprising journey to start a new life far from her homeland. The arrival, her first marriage, the second, her children, her widowhood, her grandchildren, the return to Turkey: Ventura will live through each event with profound intensity and will season her days with the rich aromas, flavors, rhythms, colors, and proverbs she brought with her from the Far East.
