Soul Mates : A Story of Survival Love Courage and Loyalty

The novel covers a 1 4-year period from the time of my grandparents' wedding in 1908 to the death of my grandfather in 1922. During this period, Eastern Europe went through many bloody conflicts including two Balkan Wars and the First World War. The results of these conflicts marked the end of six-hundred year old Ottoman Empire and created many new nations in the Balkans. The fictionalized component of the story specifıcally focuses on a time period of approximately three weeks in 1910. At the beginning of this particular year, my grandmother gave birth to my mother in Yanyevo, a small town in central Kosovo. Meanwhile, my grandfather - a Lieutenant in the Ottoman Army - was fıghting the Serbian Nationalist at the Northern Kosovo Front.
