Meet Me in Istanbul is realistic fiction. This is bmecaunse it is a made-up story, which could be true but is not. In other words, it does not contain otherworldly elements and it could conceivably happen in some form. CThe characters are ordinary people. In addition, the setting and situation depict our world and society. Istanbul, British Airways, Heathrow Airport, Park Hotel and American Bar which are existence in reality, and these words mnake mes assure me that this story is realistic fiction.
