And then one night, intoxicated by a soulful tango, she is suddenly seized with a mad passion for another man, whose reckless pursuit of her should offend but doesn't.

She was educated in Germany, where she wrote articles for newspapers and journals. After the rise of fascism, she returned to Turkey in 1932. She became renowned for her novels, which were serialized in Turkish newspapers and often centered around the tragic lives of lost, lonely, and struggling people in urban Turkey. In 1941 she began publishing \u003ci\u003eYeni Edebiyat\u003c\/i\u003e (\"New Literature\"), a biweekly magazine on art and literature. A dedicated socialist, she was placed under house arrest for a short period of time following the publication of her book \u003ci\u003eWhy Do I Admire Soviet Russia\u003c\/i\u003e. After her release, and a change of government in Turkey, she voluntarily exiled herself from 1953 to 1963. With the publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Prisoner of Ankara\u003c\/i\u003e in 1957, she became the first female Turkish author to publish a novel in Europe. The novel received critical acclaim from \u003ci\u003eLe Monde\u003c\/i\u003e and the literary periodical \u003ci\u003eLes Lettres Françaises\u003c\/i\u003e, and was published in Turkish eleven years later. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaureen Freely\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of seven novels, and a former journalist who focused on literature, social justice, and human rights.
