Does anyone know this book?

[Mercimek]

Years ago someone leant me a book about a lady who settled in Turkey for a year in the 50's. As I recall she settled in central Anotolia, eventually Ankara sending a deligation to see her as they were concerned about her welfare in a Turkish village.
 
The book was great and all I can remember was it had oranges in the title.
 
Does anyone know this book and the actual title. I'd love to get a copy.

The only one I can think of is Dinner of Herbs by Carla Grissman.
 
But her stay in Anatolia was in the 1960s I think, and it doesn't have 'oranges' in the title....
 
It's a really good book though, so if you can't find the one you're thinking of, then get a copy of this instead.

, and it doesn't have 'oranges' in the title....
 

But the cover looks orange coloured!     So often I forget a name & am convinced that it begins, for example, with a 'W' & then when I remember it it's a 'B'!!

We are all getting older & so have so much more information (& wisdom  ) stored up!!

Will deffo be looking out for a copy of that, heyho!
