Η Φόνισσα by Alexandros Papadiamantes
"Η Φόνισσα" by Alexandros Papadiamantes is a novella published in 1903. Set on the island of Skiathos, it follows Fragkogiannou, an elderly widow haunted by a lifetime of suffering. Believing girls are destined for misery, she commits an unthinkable act that spirals into a dark obsession. As local authorities close in, she flees toward an hermit's sanctuary, seeking confession. The story explores the psychology of a tormented woman trapped between poverty, patriarchal
society, and her own fractured conscience. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
