Turkish Harems & Circassian Homes by Andrée Hope is a small yet incredible account of the author's previous summer. She has wonderfully attempted to recall some lovely memories of those readers who have already seen the bright lands she tries to describe. She has presented through her words all the places she visited gracefully and with great precision, so much so to take a reader on a journey with her. According to the preface, she wants to express the magnificence and charm of these faraway countries and clarifies that these descriptions may interest those who wish to get an experience of traveling while sitting in their comfortable houses reading this book.
