Three new pieces by the Georgian-born author, who is achieving great success with her dramas and novels (The Eighth Life. For Brilka): The Year of My Worst Luck. A woman awakens injured in the woods. Opposite her: a crashed car, and inside, motionless: a man. The woman has lost her memory. Only the song "Gloomy Sunday" from the car radio seems to hold a clue to the puzzle of her identity and to a bitter love story. Gradually, memories return. But they are the kind that are hard to live with. The Autumn of the Subjects. A stately villa somewhere in the world. A civil war has been raging for weeks. Nothing is known about the whereabouts of the master of the house, the first man in the state. The household staff has fled - except for an old cook, the housekeeper, and a young assistant. Cut off from the outside world, the three women are left to fend for themselves. Old prejudices and new rivalries break out, and the villa itself becomes a battlefield. Beauty. Royal Hungary in 1611: The wealthy, powerful Countess Erzsébet Báthory is confined to her castle and charged with the murder of her maidens. She is said to have killed the virgins to bathe in their blood to regain her youth. Haratischwili draws on the famous legend of the "Blood Countess" to tell a story of love and intrigue - and of a woman who becomes a vampire as she refuses to conform to a patriarchal society.
