Beth Helms discusses her novel Dervishes as part of Northeastern University Library's Meet the Author series on March 18, 2008. Helms, winner of the 2003 Iowa Short fiction award, draws from her childhood experiences living abroad in the Middle East to write this compelling story of a mother and daughter living in Ankara, Turkey, as the wife and child of an American diplomat. Restless within their closed community of Westerners and rich Turks, the two decide to venture outside the safety of their isolated community. Sponsored by the NU Libraries, the NU International Student & Scholar Institute (ISSI), and the NU Bookstore.
