It may sound strange, but I am the only one who can tell how I ended up here. It is the time of the military dictatorship in Greece. Mary's account begins with her love for Dimos, a leader of the student movement. In November 1973, Mary is arrested and subjected to hunger, cold, and torture in the dungeons of the security service. Only she knows about her pregnancy, the child of Dimos. But Mary also tells of the solidarity among the imprisoned women, how she managed to survive without betraying anyone. With great literary power, Aris Fioretos, the author from Sweden, describes the existential crisis of a young woman faced with an unsolvable conflict.
