Colonel's Wife

In the final twilit moments of her life, an elderly woman looks back on her years in the thrall of fascism and Nazism. Both her authoritarian tendencies and her ecstatic engagement with the natural world are terrifying and vividly evoked in The Colonel's Wife, an astonishing and brave novel that resonates painfully with our own strained political moment.

In ultimele momente de amurg ale vietii ei, o femeie in varsta se uita inapoi la anii ei in robia fascismului si nazismului. Atat tendintele ei autoritare, cat si angajamentul ei extatic cu lumea naturala sunt terifiante si viu evocate in The Colonel's Wife, un roman uimitor si curajos care rezoneaza dureros cu propriul nostru moment politic tensionat.
