Status Updates From İnce Memed

Super warm today so I stayed inside, drew closed the shades & made much progress on this book. I picked it up yesterday in a used bookshop that was otherwise slim pickings.
I'm encouraged that Hatche stays in the picture as a character and isn't immediately thrown by the wayside. I also like the nature descriptions, the abundant thistle, clay, trees & rocks.
I think this is the first Turkish writer I've read!
