{"product_id":"dinner-of-herbs-carla-grissmann-9781780600437","title":"Dinner of Herbs: Village Life in Turkey in the 1960s","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarla Grissman, an American whose cosmopolitan life had already seen her living in Morocco, Paris and Jerusalem, spent the better part of a year in the '60s living in a farming hamlet in remote Anatolia, some 250 kilometres east of Ankara. The hospitality, the friendship and the way in which the inhabitants of Uzak Köy accepted her into their community left a deep impression, and were remembered and trea- sured in a private memoir. Not for some forty years was it published, and yet it is one of the most honest, clear-sighted and affectionate portraits of rural Turkey, testimony to Proverbs 15:17, 'Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than feasting on a fattened ox where hatred also dwells'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a biographical portrait by John Hopkins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carla Grissmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780600437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780600437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eland Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Carla Grissmann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48930163851519,"sku":"9781780600437","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dinner-of-herbs-carla-grissmann-9781780600437","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
