Lale Gül

Lale Gül (Amsterdam, 3 November, 1997)[1][failed verification] is a Dutch writer of Turkish descent.

[2] Gül was raised in a strict Islamic-religious family in Amsterdam-West.

She studies Dutch literature at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam.

[4] In 2021 she published and gained national attention with her autobiographical debut novel Ik ga leven (English: I'm going to live) in which she critically and humorously distances herself from her strict religious upbringing.

Although she initially indicated to remain living at her parental home,[3] she decided shortly after that this was no longer an option.
