Growing up in the small town of Maden in Turkey, Fethiye Cetin knew
her grandmother as a happy and respected Muslim housewife called
Seher. Only decades later did she discover the truth. Her
grandmother's name was not Seher but Heranus. She was born a
Christian Armenian. Most of the men in her village had been
slaughtered in 1915. A Turkish gendarme had stolen her from her
mother and adopted her. Cetin's family history tied her directly to
the terrible origins of modern Turkey and the organized denial of
its Ottoman past as the shared home of many faiths and ways of
life. A deeply affecting memoir, My Grandmother is also a step
towards another kind of Turkey, one that is finally at peace with
its past.
