‘SavaÅŸ’ prose is an X-ray – an acute portrait of the tender frequencies that make a life.’ Raven Leilani, author of Luster

Asya and Manu are looking at apartments, envisioning their future in a foreign city. Removed from the web of family and its obligations, what traditions and rituals should they establish together?

As they dream about the possibilities of each new listing, Asya, a documentary filmmaker, spends her days gathering footage from the neighbourhood park like an anthropologist observing local customs, anxious to know how people really live. ‘Forget about daily life,’ chides her grandmother on the phone, ‘no one cares about that.’

Meanwhile, life back in Asya and Manu's respective home countries continues – parents age, grandparents get sick, nieces and nephews grow up – all just slightly beyond their reach. But the world they're making in their new city is growing, too, they hope. As they open up the horizons of their lives, what and whom will they hold onto, and what will they need to release?

Unfolding over a series of apartment viewings, late-night conversations, last rounds of drinks and lazy breakfasts, The Anthropologists is a soulful examination of home-building and modern love, written with Aysegül SavaÅŸ’ distinctive elegance, warmth and humour.

Advance praise for
THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS

The Anthropologists is about love, youth, and that most profound and elusive of subjects – happiness. Full of delicacy, wisdom and wit, this is another gorgeous work from one of my favourite writers.’ Katie Kitamura, author of Intimacies

‘Like Walter Benjamin, AyÅŸegül SavaÅŸ uncovers trapdoors to bewilderment everywhere in everyday life; like Henry James, she sees marriage as a mystery, unsoundably deep.
The Anthropologists is mesmerising; I felt I read it in a single breath.’ Garth Greenwell, author of Cleanness

‘Yet another gorgeous, gorgeous book from Aysegül SavaÅŸ: she is an author who simply, and astoundingly, knows. SavaÅŸ knows hope. SavaÅŸ knows despair. SavaÅŸ knows joy, and malaise, and laughter and curiosity. There are worlds inside of SavaÅŸ' prose, and
The Anthropologists is both a bright light and a map for how to be. A massively heartening achievement.’ Bryan Washington, author of Family Meal

Among the Best
I have read all of John's books... and those coauthored with others. Between John an Brent, I have to say this one stands out to me as the best. At least to me in my present place in the journey Home. I honestly wish I could meet both of these men, not only to personally shake their hands and thank them for this contribution of their experiences with God... but to actually know them and spend time in fellowship with them. YouTube videos just don't cut it! Lol If not in this side of the Sacred Romance, then definitely on the other. If either of you dear gentlemen ever read this review... I thank you both from the depths of my heart.

Explains It Very Well
"The Sacred Romance" describes the way that our relationship with God is SUPPOSED to be, and then discusses the hardships that hinder the ideal relationship with Him. The authors use down-to-earth stories and compare them to God's love, allowing readers to gain a new perspective on God. I cannot say that I truly understand God's love completely, because there is no way that any human could fully comprehend it. However, after reading this book, I can say that I think I understand God's love a little more. This book is an excellent read, and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to have a closer relationship with God.
