Overlook is thrilled to unveil to American readers Maureen Freely's Enlightenment, which will be published in May 2008. Today a short excerpt appears on Critical Mass, the must-read blog of the National Book Critic's Circle.Enlightenment is a story of first love and betrayal set against the tangled web of contemporary Turkey. Author Maureen Freely offers an arresting vision of Turkey, its people, and one American girl trapped in the fray. Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk called the novel a "dark Conradian drama set in a beautifully illustrated Istanbul, where the past is always with us."
