- Elif Şafak: (Şafak was born Elif Bilgin in Strasbourg to philosopher Nuri Bilgin and Şafak Atayman, who later became a diplomat. She incorporated her mother's first name-Turkish for "dawn"-with her own when constructing her pen name. Şafak spent her teenage years in Madrid and Amman before returning to Turkey. She has lived around the world-Boston, Michigan, Arizona, Istanbul and London-and her writing has thrived upon these journeys. ( (Wikipedia, accesssed 05/01/2017) )
