“In 1972, four women from the Şakir Pasha family were going to have separate openings. Towards the end of April, Füreya ceramics were in Ankara; In May, my aunt Aliye made her engravings in Istanbul; In June, my mother (Fahrünnisa Zeid) will exhibit some of her latest works at the Katia Granoff gallery at Place Beauveau in Paris, and I will be exhibiting at "The Playhouse in the Park" in Cincinnati, Ohio. Play is the Thing" “I was going to open with the play called (Invitation at the Castle).” These sentences of Şirin Devrim show how the family is full of artists.
I really liked what Şirin Devrim, the niece of Halicarnassus Fisherman Cevat Şakir, told, her anecdotes about Atatürk, and the way she told all the details about the life of her family, who are known all over the world. Even though it was a book translated from English to Turkish, I did not feel unfamiliar at all, I entered the book as if I were a member of the family.
The book should be read because it includes very valuable and important events since the establishment of the Republic.
