Jack Scott's Turkey tales, the perfect holiday read

27/5/2016

Comments

 
After over thirty years as a municipal bean-counter slowly ascending a career ladder to middle management, middle income and a middling suburban terrace, Jack Scott decided to chuck in the towel, flog off the family silver and pitch his tent in a foreign field with his civil partner, Liam. They parachuted into paradise with their eyes firmly shut. When the blindfolds were removed, they found themselves peering into a bear pit of neo-colonial pretensions – all airs and no graces. Nothing could prepare them for what was to come – heat exhaustion, biblical floods, Byzantine red tape, casual censorship, power cuts, devil bugs, fetid plumbing, suicidal drivers, dirty politics, randy waiters, awe-inspiring sunsets, benevolence, generosity and approval. Eventually, they found diamonds in the rough and roses among the scrub.

Jack's First Impressions

'Jaw-dropping sunsets painted in luscious hues of orange and gold serenaded by the rhythmic call of a thousand randy crickets.'

Jack's Lasting Moments

'The unbridled tears of our warm and accepting Turkish neighbours as we said goodbye for the very last time.'
Perking the Pansies and Turkey Street are the perfect accompaniment to a large glass of chilled white on a lazy day around a sun-kissed pool. Let Jack take you on his bitter-sweet journey of tragedy and comedy, an accidental tale of laughter and tears that changed him forever.
Jack Scott's Turkey Tales
Jack's Turkey tales are available in print and digital editions:
