"Toten Frauen vergeben nicht"
Autorin: Katarina Wennstam
Das Buch ist auf Schwedisch
Der erste Teil der Morde am Ende des Jahrhunderts
Vier Frauen unterschiedlicher sozialer Klassen leben alle im gleichen Gebäude auf Södermalm. Sie werden durch einen schrecklichen Tod auf dem gemeinsamen Bauernhof während des kalten Silvesterabends zwischen 1895 und 1896 zusammengebracht. Bald wird klar, dass die verstorbene Frau versucht hatte, eine illegale Abtreibung durchzuführen.
Das Buch ist eine schicksalhafte Darstellung der harten Lebensbedingungen von Frauen im späten 19. Jahrhundert. Mit einer unwiderstehlichen Sprache und einer wütenden Dynamik schildert Katarina Wennstam eine Welt voller Dienstmädchen, unmoralischer Frauen, ausbeuterischer Männer und farbenfroher Beschreibungen der Stadt sowie exquisiter Kostüme. Solide Recherchen stehen hinter Katarina Wennstams bisher leidenschaftlichstem Buchprojekt.
