Synopsis
Mary Lee Settle was an American writer and winner of the National Book Award for her 1978 novel Blood Ti e. The book is set along the Turkish coast in the city of Ceramos and centers on a group of eccentric American and European ex-patriots who are creating mayhem in the ancient city where they now reside. Settle conveys both the humorous and the lamentable aspects of the culture clash that is a constant theme throughout the book. Vividly detailed and impressively researched, the book was praised as a memorable and rich journey.
