Zainab and Ahmed are two children who were separated from sharing school seats by Zainab’s move with her family to Ankara, and her boyfriend staying in Istanbul. The letters became their way of maintaining their friendship by exchanging funny stories, daily adventures, and discussing the oddities of the adult world: adults’ confusion in front of their managers, and parents’ desperation to showcase their children’s talents. “The wonderful ones” in front of the guests, and the parents’ insistence that they were all outstanding, obedient, honest, and of course the top of their class.
In this novel written for children, parents, and teachers alike, Aziz Nesin reconstructs events from the perspective through which children see the world, judging the behavior of adults and the double standards they live under. Like his always controversial books, the book - this time - provokes adults by revealing their image in the eyes of their children, thus asking: What happens to children when they grow up?
Crime for love:
I wrote in this book a lot of different feelings and topics. Between its lines there are feelings that go back to my heart, my feelings, and my general life. I wrote about love in the sense of my private heart, and about happiness, sadness, separation, and many feelings that carry praise for one person and reproach for others. My words here do not constitute one year or a period. Short of my life, but here is a group of years that began when my pen began to draw its first letters and continues to this day.
I have talked about many things in the pages of my book, and yet my heart still longs to live more and sees that what I have written so far is nothing more than the letters of a few years that passed during my youth and youth.
I talked a lot in my book about feelings of love, and I am fully aware that many will not understand them well. They will like the beauty of the letters and the harmony of the words, but only those who have lived the same feeling and know that love is not the love that exists between two genders or two people, but rather love is to love ourselves, so we love those who love us. We love life around us and thus we see people in a completely different light.
