``Woman Has No Name,'' broke sales records when it was printed in 1987, but was soon banned by the government which found it to be too lewd and obscene. The ban was lifted after a two-year court battle. A film adaptation of the book broke box office records in Turkey.
Asena authored eight other feminist novels, including ``There is no love,'' _ a sequel to ``Woman has no name'' _ and wrote weekly newspaper columns.

Gemmell, best known for his novels Legend and Waylander, published 30 novels in a career spanning 22 years
