More about the book
This is the life and suffering of a passionate, loving woman who, in her selfish exaggeration, never finds the love she seeks and ultimately breaks under the excess of her feelings. First, it is the struggle for the love of her husband, who dies because of her; then a harsh, almost merciless fight for the affection of her only son, whom she ultimately believes she will lose to his wife; and finally, it is the struggle for God, to whom she wishes to surrender in monastic life, but even here she does not come close to her goal due to the egocentric outlook of her fundamentally harsh soul.
