The narrator of Cold Nights of Childhood grows up in a rapidly changing Turkey,
where the atmosphere is nationalist, patriarchal, technocratic. As a misfit in
search of freedom, love and happiness, she escapes to Berlin, is overcome by
depression on her return, and trapped in a psychiatry clinic for five years.
After electroshock therapy and inhumane treatment, she is released into the care
of friends and family, making tentative steps in a halting journey towards
recovery.
In her unique, unstructured style, Tezer Özlü explores the extremity of her
inner life and the painful pleasures of memory. Translated into English for the
first time by Maureen Freely, this novel is a classic akin to The Bell Jar and
Good Morning, Midnight.
