"Matilda Duru," author İpek Kocaman's new novel from Profil Publishing, invites the reader to a woman's reckoning with herself and her destiny. Throughout Duru's journey, the whispers of Matilda within her grow louder, creating a story interwoven with identity questions and moments of rupture.

Kocaman explores women's struggle to rediscover themselves, their trapped psyches within the triangle of love, loyalty, and freedom, and the unexpected confrontations of motherhood. The author says of her book, "This story is a woman's rebirth. I believe we all find our freedom when we reconcile with the little child within us."
