On a poor, sun-bleached island in the Aegean, old Hadoula sits awake beside her ailing infant granddaughter, and begins to think the unthinkable.
She has spent her whole life in service to others — to a husband, to children, to the relentless burden of dowries that beggar every family with daughters. She has watched women suffer from the cradle to the grave, valued only for the sons they bear and the misery they inherit. And in the long, sleepless dark, a terrible mercy takes root in her mind: that for a girl, perhaps death is a kinder fate than the life that waits for her.
What begins as one desperate act becomes something far darker, as Hadoula is swept into a spiral of guilt, dread, and pursuit across the island's cliffs and olive groves. Part crime story, part psychological tragedy, part searing portrait of a society that crushes its women, The Murderess follows one woman's descent with unflinching compassion and mounting suspense.
A landmark of modern Greek literature by one of its greatest writers, this haunting novella is as unsettling and unforgettable today as when it first appeared.
A timeless classic, now ready to be heard.
