The Murderess

“The greatest Modern Greek prose writer.” -- Milan Kundera

“The ‘saint’ of modern Greek letters... Papadiamandis wrote with graphic realism and unequalled passion.” -- Times Literary Supplement

On the island of Skiathos in the late 19th century, Ma-Hadoula, who may truly be likened to a figure from an ancient tragedy, is made constantly aware of the harsh fate awaiting young girls born into her traditional island community. She revolts against the social conventions and against her God and is led to commit the most hideous of crimes.
