In his compelling prequel to The Successor, Kadare draws us into a
land deprived of choice, a country under a reign of terror. The
spellbinding Agamemnon's Daughter was written in Albania in the
1980s and smuggled into France a few pages at a time. It reveals a
world where fear is an instrument of power, but the individual
survives despite the odds. From the winner of the first Man Booker
International Prize comes a searing story of love denied, then
shattered under the chilling wheels of the state. Through the
impeccably crafted, incisive tale of a thwarted lover's odyssey
through a single day, we are given a true sense of how hard it can
be to remain human in a world ruled by fear and suspicion.
