Sacrificed to further a father's blood-soaked career; sacrificed for the common good; sacrificed, then forgotten. This work tells a story of love denied, then shattered under the chilling wheels of the state.
Sacrificed to further a father's blood-soaked career; sacrificed for the common good; sacrificed, then forgotten. In his compelling prequel to The Successor, Kadare draws us into a land deprived of choice, a country under a reign of terror. Published here in English for the first time, the spellbinding Agamemnon's Daughter, written in Albania in the 1980s and smuggled into France a few pages at a time, 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.
