Summary | "Η Φόνισσα" by Alexandros Papadiamantes is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story explores the life of the central character, Χαδούλα (Chadoula), who is also referred to as Γιαννού η Φράγκισσα, as she navigates her roles and responsibilities within her family and society. The narrative touches upon themes of motherhood, sacrifice, and the struggles of women in a patriarchal context. The opening of the novel introduces the character of Χαδούλα as she watches over her ailing granddaughter during a restless night. The atmosphere is filled with tension and a sense of foreboding as the household grapples with the uncertainties of health and familial duties. Through Χαδούλα’s reflections and memories, readers gain insight into her past and the generational cycles of women who have served others before her. The scene sets a poignant tone that hints at the complexities of her character and the darker themes likely to emerge as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
