Maureen Freely
(b.1952)Maureen Freely is a U.S. journalist, novelist, translator and teacher. Born in Neptune, New Jersey, she grew up in Turkey and now lives in England, where she lectures at the University of Warwick and is a regular contributor to several London broadsheets. Among her novels is The Life of the Party, set in Turkey. She has also written The Other Rebecca, a contemporary version of Daphne du Maurier's classic novel Rebecca.
Her name has become well known to many as the English translator of Orhan Pamuk's recent novels (including Snow). She works closely with Pamuk on these translations, because they often serve as the basis when his work is translated into other languages. They were both educated simultaneously at Robert College in Istanbul, although they did not know each another at the time.

Florenzer (2025)
Phil Melanson
"Historical novels speak to me if and only if they leave me to reflect on their present-day resonances. Florenzer is one such work. To read this novel is to enjoy that abundance through the eyes of a young, unproven artist who will pay a heavy price for loving men in his life as in his work.... All this in gorgeous prose that captures the artist's eye like no other."
