The Colonel’s Wife


In the final twilit moments of her life, an elderly woman looks back on her years in the thrall of fascism and Nazism. Both her authoritarian tendencies and her ecstatic engagement with the natural world are vividly and terrifyingly evoked in The Colonel’s Wife, an astonishing and brave novel that resonates painfully with our own strained political moment.
Today is the official release of the translation of The Colonel’s Wife by Rosa Liksom. See some reviews at The Chawed Rosin who happens to be the translator of the book.
