The book ‘Adaçayı İstasyonu’, reminiscent of an old Turkish movie, received full marks from the readers.

Suna Serbes, who was born in a remote corner of Anatolia and raised her first child with book knowledge, instilling a passion for reading, received full marks from her readers for her book ‘Adaçayı İstasyonu,’ written in a style reminiscent of an old Turkish movie.

Born in 1980 in Afyonkarahisar, Suna Serbes gave birth to her first child in a rural area of Sivas in 2002 due to work reasons. Serbes, who lost her family at an early age and had no knowledge of how to raise a baby, started to get acquainted with books in this way. By reading a book on child development that she purchased, Serbes, who raised her baby, developed a passion for reading thanks to the child she raised with the book after 23 years. The baby who witnessed her mother going through a difficult and painful process touched her mother’s life with the book she bought. Overcoming tough times by reading nearly a thousand books and gaining a wealth of knowledge, Serbes decided to share this accumulation with society by putting it into writing. Enriching life with a passion for books and correct knowledge, Serbes, who raised two successful children, made a good debut with her first book that aroused great curiosity among readers.

Deciding to write a novel with a period context, Suna Serbes brought her first book ‘Adaçayı İstasyonu’ to the world of literature, inspired by neighborhood culture in the style of an old Turkish movie. Adaçayı İstasyonu, which received full marks from readers by making a good debut, has a sincere, heartfelt, and relatable storyline. It sometimes reminds us of the inner feelings we miss or get emotional about. Within the events taking place in a neighborhood, it presents readers with the long and adventurous love story of two young people, creating important veils of mystery for readers with successful character analyses. The process experienced by Filiz and Ahmet holds significant values for readers. Particularly, the nearly forgotten neighborhood culture directly attracts attention.

Emphasizing that she overcame difficult times more easily and strongly with the knowledge from books, author Suna Serbes, whose well-received book’s story she expressed with the following words:

‘The painful process I went through was successfully overcome thanks to books, and it was time to harvest the seeds sown. My eldest son, who introduced me to books, is now a successful commander and still continues his academic studies. My youngest son is receiving a good education at one of Turkey’s distinguished schools. I have also added a work of my own pen to the books I am passionate about these days. The ‘Adaçayı İstasyonu’ that I brought to Turkish literature has met with its readers. It received full marks from readers. The work on my second book is also ongoing. I continue to reflect all the colors of the rainbow into my life. I paint and believe that art is the color of life. Each brushstroke I put on the canvas expresses a feeling. While colors caress my soul, my heart flutters. I grow in the steam of my coffee standing right next to me. I want to be kneaded with knowledge and blended into eternity. Books have always been my most selfless and correct companions. Therefore, no matter how old I am, I will continue to walk towards the light of the books I am passionate about.’
