Many versions of what are commonly known as ‘Nasretin Hodja stories’ can be found in the Turkish comunity of Tarsus. The narratives are commonly used to lend weight to a wide assortment of arguments. That Nasretin Hodja is credited with great wit and wisdom does not negate the fact that some stories are sarcastic, idiotic and at times cuttingly negative. The majority of the stories, with some minor exceptions, are presented warts and all. You the reader are left ponder the morals and ethics that each story seeks to rationalize.

Set in wartime Holland, A Mouthful of Gravel recounts the tumultuous life of Piet ten Bosh during the late summer and early autumn months of 1944. As world-shattering events unfold around them, Piet and his good friend Hans find themselves in an equally dangerous struggle. The pair makes a decision to do what is morally right but which puts them at odds with the wishes of their parents. As the Allied war machine approaches, Piet is left with the option of obeying his elders or doing his own thing.
