Welcome to our Library!

Ayse, a nine year old girl, speaks with enthusiasm, courage and few complaints about her life.

She shares the same troubles as all children her age:relationships with classmates and her brother, friends, classes, games…

But she also has her own concerns, the most profound and silent worries,about a country she was forced to abandon.

She mixes nostalgia, fear, defiance, humor and determination to create a special and unique “delicacy” of her life.

 She treats all of us generously, even those who have embittered her.Ayse knows how to play ball.  Do you?
