Today let’s learn about Elif Shafak was born on October 25, 1971, in Strasbourg, France, to a Turkish mother and a Turkish-British father. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she was raised by her mother, Şafak Atayman, a diplomat, which significantly influenced her worldview and exposed her to diverse cultures and languages. Shafak spent her childhood and teenage years in various cities, including Madrid, Amman, and Cologne, before settling in Turkey. This multicultural upbringing is reflected in her writing, which often explores themes of identity, belonging, and the intersection of Eastern and Western cultures.
