Letters to My Mother is a deeply personal and cathartic masterpiece by Cengiz Dağcı, born from decades of unspoken emotions and heavy spiritual burdens. For years, the unwritten weight of this book sat upon the author's heart like a stone. Upon its publication, however, it brought a profound sense of peace—healing old wounds and offering a space to articulate the joys, sorrows, and core truths that sustained him through a life of exile. It is an intimate confession where the profound love and passion instilled by his mother over twenty years intertwine with the unwavering support he received from his lifelong companion, Regina.

The narrative gracefully blurs the lines between reality and fiction, prompting readers to wonder who truly hides behind characters like the innocent Saf, his mother, or the teacher Akimova. Echoing Flaubert's famous assertion about Madame Bovary, Dağcı acknowledges that while he carried these personas within his own soul for many years, they eventually demanded to be set free. By breathing life into these figures, he not only liberates his own inner world but also presents readers with a profoundly moving exploration of identity, memory, and the enduring bonds of family.
