EARLY PRAISE FOR TO THE CITY ‘Alexander Christie-Miller is an exceptionally fluent and imaginative writer who knows Turkey intimately’ Max Hastings ‘A lyrical tribute to Istanbul, a city where the present is always struggling against the past. More than that, it’s an indispensable guide to the nuances, complexities and contradictions of Ottoman and Turkish history’ Hannah Lucinda Smith, author of Erdogan Rising ‘Alexander Christie-Miller writes with great eloquence and clarity about our fluid, Protean, multi-layered Istanbul, the city he made his home for years. As in his investigative reporting from the 2010s, which exposed the tyrannical political thirst behind Erdogan’s push for ‘democratisation’, his writing excavates something precious and vital: truth’ Kaya Genç, author of Under the Shadow
