Madonna in a Fur Coat

Amazon

This is a novel about a woman, as the title makes clear - but even more: about her affect on a man, who then wrote about it. It does not have a happy ending.

It is about Turkey and Berlin after WWI - when both had been destroyed and were trying to put themselves back together - unsuccessfully, as it later turned out.

The writer asks a lot of fundamental questions - not the kind most people want to think about. It will never be made into a movie - although it certainly would make a good one.
