SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION

Dear stranger . . . Are you home? Do you feel at home? For how much longer?

Across the world the number of refugees and exiles, the dispossessed and displaced, the politically homeless
and the economically excluded is growing.

Now, Ece Temelkuran, who has for years been a political Cassandra, warning the West about the rise of fascism,
has written Nation of Strangers: a series of letters from one stranger to another. It is a book for anyone who feels
alienated by an ever-more monstrous world, and a roadmap for an uncertain future.

"Luminous" - * Observer *

"Temelkuran is a writer of rare gifts with an urgent message . . . A book you'll ignore at your peril" - * Spectator *

"Cogent and compelling" - * Times Literary Supplement *

"Nation of Strangers posits that the idea of home, and the emotions that idea contains, is one of the dominant political forces of our time. [ . . . ] National stories urgently need to be told differently. The personal is political. Specifically, emotion is political, especially in a world where, as Temelkuran argues, more and more of us feel unhomed" - * Guardian *
