SYNOPSIS
An Austrian housewife sits in her loft intent on her drawings of birds and insects. Then one day a disturbing package arrives in the post...
The narrator of this story spends her free time in her loft. It is a retreat where she can draw undisturbed. It is also a retreat from her dull and dissatisfied husband, a man who sighs unhappily even when she sneezes. Their grown-up children are living independent lives and the house is very quiet. Her dreams are filled with domestic drudgery.
The arrival of the parcel threatens her quiet equilibrium. It contains extracts from the narrator''s diary, written twenty years before. They date back to a time when she was sent away by her husband to a remote cottage in a bid to ''cure'' her from unexplained sudden deafness. More mysterious packages arrive. Who is sending them? And what did happened all those years ago in the forest?
''A thrilling novel... What gives this book its tremendous power? First the voice is charming, with a skittish beauty throughout... But there is also disarming honesty, and a lack of vanity, which appeals as only truth can’ John Self, Guardian

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Marlen Haushofer
Marlen Haushofer (1920–1970) depois de uma infância idílica no Norte da Áustria, estudou Filosofia e Literatura em Viena e Graz. Viveu dividida entre as aspirações literárias e uma invisibilidade deliberada, a escrita como missão e a «frieza gélida da alma pequeno-burguesa» (Klaus Antes), que dominava a sua vida familiar.
Autora que nunca quis notoriedade, recebeu o Prémio Arthur Schnitzler e, em 1968, o Grande Prémio de Literatura da Áustria. Influência para Elfriede Jelinek, que lhe dedicaria uma das suas peças, escreveu contos e romances, entre os quais A Partede (1963), a sua obra-prima, e A Mansarda (1969), habitados por heroínas inesquecíveis.
