The most shocking and gripping book I’ve ever read. Could not put it down.
Josie, a young English woman, leaves her home in England to embark on a new career as an English teacher in Bursa, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
As she explores Turkey and its culture and traditions, she falls in love with life in this historical transcontinental land.
A year into her new life she travels across the country to the west coast to enjoy a holiday with two friends.
By chance she meets and falls in love with the tall charismatic Bechir, but too late finds that he is not what he seems.
Will Josie escape the horrors of her life or will she become just another victim?
This book will have you hooked from page one as you are drawn into the ups and downs of Josie’s life as her idyllic life turns into a nightmare.
ABOUT JULIE
After growing up in a small village in Essex where I used to dream of living in the faraway lands of the books I read, I was excited when my dream came true. As a young woman I began living my own real-life story-book romance and adventure in the transcontinental land of Turkey. Of course, characters in books don’t always have a happy ending and neither did I.
BUT I’m a survivor not a victim and my role now is to create characters and tell stories that will raise awareness of the plights of women all over the world today. Help me do that by reading Hope Became the Enemy. (50% of my royalties will be donated to Women’s Aid)
A compelling tale through the heart of a magnificent city. The bold main character gives us an insight into the challenges and pain of being a woman in society. An absolute must read!
