Author: Anna Bolavá
8,36 €
Anna Bolavá follows a solitary woman whose life becomes increasingly devoted to gathering medicinal plants. An apparently orderly working routine develops into an unsettling story of obsession, illness, and withdrawal from the world.
About the book
Anna gives most of her energy to collecting, drying, and delivering herbs. Tuesday’s buying session structures her week, while plants fill the attic of her house. Detailed plans offer stability but also push other parts of life aside.
Memories, personal losses, and illness gradually enter the narrative. Tension emerges through hints and the gap between everyday routine and what lies beneath it. Vivid sensory impressions deepen the dark atmosphere, while unspoken connections leave room for the reader’s interpretation.
