She Who Remains by Rene Karabash

She Who Remains by Rene Karabash

In the Albanian mountains there was a way out of a forced marriage: a woman could swear before the village to remain a virgin for life and live as a man. She would then be treated as one — allowed to smoke, carry a rifle, and speak in the assembly.

Bekia takes the oath to spare her sister, and Karabash writes what follows in short, hard, almost incantatory prose. The novel is about the price of a freedom that has to be bought by giving up a body, and about the women left inside the arrangement she escaped.

An award-winning Bulgarian novel drawn from the real tradition of the sworn virgins of the Balkans.
