Emina Temel A. was born in Nusaybin, Turkey, a town bordering Syria. She was deeply influenced by the rich blend of Middle Eastern and European cultures around her. Witnessing life in this diverse setting shaped her understanding of social and cultural issues worldwide. She graduated from Yıldız Technical University in 2014 and worked as a city planner in Istanbul and published two books in Turkish. She lives in London and is raising two admirable children.
The Portrait is her first English-written and published book. The Portrait tells the story of Leila - a strong, talented woman challenging the cultural expectations placed on her, set in a picturesque village in Southeast Turkey. Despite the obstacles, Leila remains steadfast in pursuing her dreams and impacting the world. It explores family, community, gender roles, and the power of resilience, all against the backdrop of a vibrant but traditional society. The book raises questions about challenging norms while maintaining community ties. Through vivid storytelling, The Portrait highlights the beauty of nature, the importance of community, and the courage it takes to defy societal norms, offering readers an inspiring and thought-provoking journey.
