In the fall of 1995 authors Karen and Ray Gilden found themselves on the receiving end of an offer they couldn't resist—a furnished apartment on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey for one year at just $125 a month. So they quit their jobs, sold their house and car, and flew off to Turkey with two bags each, a laptop computer and a camera. If you've ever dreamed of ditching the rat race and taking a year off, you’ll find inspiration in this charming and humorous series of short essays. A delightful memoir of a memorable year.
