🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
“If My Mother Never Left” introduces the readers to the life of Burak Yilmaz. The book takes us through his childhood as he grows up. Burak was born in Turkey. In the 1980s men could avoid being called gay by marrying a woman. Burak’s father was involved in gambling, making false promises to his family. He was so occupied with his work, his self-being that he could only offer money to his family.
When Burak’s father was overseas, his mother got involved with different men and one day she ran away leaving Burak behind. But Burak’s mother did a good thing by paying his five years fees in advance so he could study in private school. When Burak’s father remarried, his step-mother used to treat him badly. She used to order take outs and gave Burak only leftovers. His step-mother brothers who used to sexually abuse Burak also gave him money with which he was able to buy school supplies and good food.
Will Burak find the courage to leave the abusive home and create a life on his own for himself? What will happen to the scars left by his family? Will he heal from them? This book takes the readers on the rollercoaster ride full of emotions. I am glad to read this story of Burak and I appreciate his resilience. This book involves sensitive and mature content so I like to recommend it to adult readers only.
