On the brink of divorce, and in the middle of a torrid affair with a brilliant German graduate student, American history professor Adam Cantwell accepts an offer from his close friend, a Turkish restaurant owner, to drive a car to Antalya, Turkey. When Adam races down the autobahn he never imagines that the BMW is loaded with explosives or that he will be abducted by Kurdish separatists. And he certainly didn't expect to fall in love with the beautiful Kurdish woman he encounters in Austria. At once a thriller, a travelogue, history tutorial and love story BEGOTTEN takes the reader through Yugoslavia while it is engaged in a genocidal civil war.
