Nurowska MariaBorn in the village of Okolka in the Suwalki region in 1944, she studied Polish and Slavic literature at Warsaw University before breaking into print in 1974 in the monthly Literatura. Nurowska is associated with "women's writing". She is one of the most popular writers in Poland. Her protagonists are women governed by extreme, often pathological emotions. She frequently resorts to the conventions of melodrama (as in Spanish Eyes, Love Letters, and Maidens and Widows) in order to create psychological sketches of her characters or to illustrate a conflict between her protagonist and the outside world. She writes both historical fiction (set during the Second World War) and novels with contemporary settings (On the Other Side of the Mirror, Contradanse, Postscriptum). Nurowska writes with a light touch often tinged with delicate irony. She has also written children's books and the play The Marriage of Maria Kowalska (which was adapted for television). Maidens and Widows was the basis for an enormously popular television series.
