Bekija, painfully aware of why she cannot have what she most wants, chooses to become a \"sworn virgin,\" setting off a bloody and heartbreaking chain of events that shatters a family and destroys a cherished relationship, but also reveals how trauma can lead to vital, if uncomfortable, truths. Karabash's poetic stream of consciousness traces gender evolution with innovative grace. This bold exploration of what it means to be a woman in a world defined by the violence of ancient patriarchal traditions has resonated with readers across Europe and beyond, and now English-language readers won't soon forget Izidora Angel's award-winning translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIzidora Angel\u003c\/b\u003e is a Bulgarian-born memoirist, essayist, and literary translator based in Chicago.
