In a painful and courageous attempt to deal with the almost intolerable horror of her suicide, he sets out to piece together the facts of her life, as he perceives them. What emerges is a loving portrait of inconsolable grief, a woman whose lively spirit has been crushed not once but over and over again by the miseries of her place and time. Yet well into middle age, living in the Austrian village of her birth, she still remains haunted by her dreams.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
