A physician, a poet, a writer… Especially if he adds and blends the romance that has begun to disappear today, such a “delicious” romance novel emerges from that person, I said delicious, because for some reason, I thought of a chocolate box containing different kinds of fondant. You know when you open the box and put one in your mouth… Then another one, another one… When the box ends, this book is read just like that. When you say a chapter, another chapter, you see that the book is finished….. You are sad that it is over…
Congratulations from the heart. I really liked it, I’m sure everyone who reads it will too.

Mustafa Okcay has done a difficult job. In his provincial novel Mandalina, he set out to tell an immortal love that would last forever. In Maziye Hasret, which tells about this love that takes place in Marmaris with its main line, there is a return to the past of this story. While looking at historical events from within, not only comes across many historical information, but also who the characters in the novel are one by one. It is not for every writer to get out of such a mess of complex relationships, especially by witnessing history. While at the same time, poets, writers and painters come across many names in the pages of history, besides dealing with all of these, he appears as a single person as a musician, composer and specialist physician at the same time.
Mustafa Okçay is a Child Health and Diseases Specialist who is still practicing at İzmir Çeşme Medicana Medical Center. He is also a painter, poet, musician, composer and lyricist. He is one of the rare people with ten ingenuity on his ten fingers. While admiring the books of foreigners that are not far from reality, if one is to be indifferent to the work of a Turkish writer, which contains fantastic elements from time to time, and also tells about a great love that will last forever; this will be a very sad situation.29/12/202
