Aunt pink

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tante Rosa is a novel by the Turkish writer Sevgi Soysal , which was published in Turkey in 1968 and translated into German in 1982.

content

A woman rebels against her life, which in no way corresponds to her ideas. In contrast to similar female figures in the author's work, she is not a Muslim Turkish woman, but a Bavarian Catholic.

reception

In Turkey, the work in which the author, the daughter of a German and a Turk, processed the German part of her origins, was received with great interest.

Aunt Rosa was included in Hiersemann's novel guide, which deals with "the content of novels and short stories in world literature". For the renowned librarian and reviewer Erika Werner, the figure of Aunt Rosa is "an ambivalent one (...) who combines the author's criticism of the forced role of women with her doubts about the meaning of emancipatory acts of strength."
