Description:
In the spring of 1920, ten-year-old Sano's life changes forever. General Kemal Ataturk decides that the Pontic Greeks, the people to which she belongs and who have lived in Turkey for hundreds of years, must disappear. This is followed by a long death march across the country, which Sano is the only member of her family to survive. She is put to work for a Turkish woman who treats her like a slave and takes everything from her, even her name.
Lost Name is a very impressive life story of a woman who was marked by one of the darkest pages in Turkish history, but who built a new life for herself and her children on her own.
Thea Halo is a writer and painter living in New York. She has won several prizes for her essays and poetry. Together with her mother, she traveled to Turkey seventy years after the banishment, in search of her past.
