THE MURDERESS
The New York Review of Books, Inc. Paperback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW, The Murderess, Alexandros
Papadiamantes, Peter Levi, Renowned as the inventor of modern Greek fiction, Alexandros Papadiamantis is a
magical mythmaker and unflinching realist whose work looks forward to that of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The
Murderess is a bone-chilling book with the force of an Appalachian backwoods ballad. The Murderess is the
story of old Hadoula, a peasant woman from the island of Skiathos-in the nineteenth century, when the story is
set, as bitterly poor a place as anywhere on earth. Old Hadoula knows the burdens of women's lives and she
knows the herbs that can remedy them; over the years many women have come to her in secret for help. She is
both an outcast and a fixture of the community, and as the book begins she is trying to get her newborn
granddaughter to stop crying so that her daughter can get some sleep. That's when it hits her: there's nothing
worse than being born a woman-and she strangles the baby. This first killing is not the last, as old Hadoula
unleashes the pentup fury and pity of a life in this stark tragedy of stunning force.
