Maureen Freely's novel Enlightenment has received a starred review in Publishers Weekly: "A complex, often riveting novel set in contemporary and Cold War Turkey . . . Both mystery/thriller and mainstream literary readers will be well rewarded. "Kirkus Reviews joins the chorus of praise: "A complex novel juxtaposes youthful allegiances and political machinations in Turkey.U.S.-born, U.K.-based translator Freely tackles weighty themes in her long, dark, spiraling story. . . Despite its thriller-like components, this is a dense, shadowy and serious work concerned with dirty wars, the plight of Turkey, the pursuit of U.S. strategic interest and the possible existence of a "deep state." Conspiracy theory, nationhood and relationships collide, often obscurely, in a multilayered and earnest, if oddly remote, tale."
