Don't Tell Them So They Don't Know

“We are now truthless. We still have a few secrets. But we are truthless.”

Do people become husband and wife just because they get married and live under the same roof?
Do children really become siblings just because they come from the same mother and father?
Even if the years burn your heart out, does the ember inside lovers ever fade?
Do those whose everything is obvious have more secrets? In Söyleme Bilmelerinler

, Şermin Yaşar unravels the tightly knitted embroidery of a large family stitch by stitch. And she does this by giving the characters of the novel the right to speak separately. “You listened to everyone’s story. Come on, now you tell me: What actually happened, how did it happen?” she says, as if. Söyleme Bilmelerinler is a ball of secrets that unravel as its characters talk . As the ball unravels, where do the ends of the strings not come out… How do family ties tie knots in people’s fates? What do the things that parents put on their children’s shoulders do to them? Will those who sit in our lives like a guilty conscience ever get up? What actually happens in those ordinary houses right next to you? As you read the answers to these in the novel, a bitter smile, even a pitch-black smile, will appear on your face. The author does not read the fates of his people from their palms; he courageously pours the secrets in the folds of their hearts onto paper. For those who know the bitter side of a smile, for those who have the courage to reckon with what is not as it seems and with the inner face of something... Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kurt
