The story of a tempestous and sensual love affair, that could only be destroyed by death. A number one bestseller in Holland, with international success in England, France and Scandinavia, it was made into a film called Turks Fruit in 1974.
The dutch author and sculptor Jan Wolkers became famous, not to say notorious, with his book Turkish Delight, which appeared in 1969 and contained explicit sex scenes of startling frankness, unprecedented in dutch literature and probably unexceeded anywhere at the time. A work true to the spirit of the 1960s, it shocked a society that had not yet completed the transition from provincial conservatism to the libertarianism of modern Amsterdam.
