Accabadora | Michela Murgia

2 posts | 7 read | 2 to read

When Bonaria adopts Maria, the unloved fourth child of a widow, she tries to shield the girl from the truth about her role as an angel of mercy. Moved by the pleas of a young man crippled in an accident, she breaks her golden rule of familial consent, and in the recriminations that follow, Maria rejects her and flees Sardinia for Turin. Adrift in the big city, Maria strives as ever to find love and acceptance, but her efforts are overshadowed by the creeping knowledge of a debt unpaid, of a duty and destiny that must one day be hers.

Accabadora was a woman who gave death like an act of mercy to people who's suffering for debilitating diseases. Actually, it's not proven that this figure was really existed in Sardinia in the past, but the novel is about one of this women and it tells about her role in the society and as a mother (she adopted a rejected girl).
It's the first book that came to my mind for #matriarch ❤

Accabadora (the one who finishes) is the last mother, the one who ends the agony of a human being and brings death with love and compassion. The story of how Mary copes with discovering her adoptive mother's unsettling secret occupation. Made me think of contemporary TV series "Mary Kills People"...
