“If you like books such as The Alchemist or The Little Prince you will love The Missing Rose.”
Time Out
“The author has captured interesting connections between Western Mythology and Mysticism of the East. He makes the East and the West merge and toward the end of the novel, he releases the reader to a sea of questions. It’s more than a novel and can be considered as a guide to hear the voice of our hearts.”
Hami Cagdas, Hürriyet Gösteri - TURKEY
“Most of us have surely read The Little Prince, then Richard Bach’s Seagull, and Paulo Coelho’s Alchemist... Nowadays, if you are looking for a novel which will remind you of that same taste and of those worlds, then you should go and find ‘The Missing Rose.’”
Burhan Eren, Zaman - TURKEY
“Serdar Ozkan is a young and talented novelist, I can assure you that you will hear his name quite often in the following years.”

“Extra-ordinary, astonishing, thrilling, inspiring...”
Ayse Sasa, Author - TURKEY
“The Missing Rose is taking us on a journey from the real world to the world of dreams. It touches the souls of the readers who have lost their joy and appreciation of life, reminding them of their ‘missing roses.’”
Ayse Olgun, Journalist - TURKEY
