About This Book

Die Sammlung enthält drei Novellen, die eindringliche, oft beunruhigende Porträts weiblicher Figuren zeichnen, deren Innenleben von Einsamkeit, Gerüchten und unheimlichen Vorahnungen geprägt ist. Die Erzählungen verbinden atmosphärische Landschaftsbeschreibungen mit religiösen und astrologischen Motiven, zeigen Momente von Gewalt, moralischer Zerrissenheit und belastenden Entscheidungen und verfolgen, wie gesellschaftlicher Druck und innere Leidenschaft zu tragischen oder ambivalenten Wendungen führen. Stilistisch setzt der Text auf psychologische Beobachtung und dichte Bildlichkeit.
