Produktbeskrivning
''Compelling'' TELEGRAPH
''Such a compelling account of a small but significant dark corner of history... Profound, angry, and tender all at once'' VIRGINIA FEITO, author of MRS MARCH
''Fascinating and very compelling.''
ZOE VENDITOZZI, co-author of HOW TO KILL A WITCH
''A moving story of desperation, violence and survival'' HELEN LEWIS, author of DIFFICULT WOMEN
The women of Nagyrév are desperate.
They''re abused by their husbands.
They are feeding their newborns to livestock.
At the turn of the 20th century, in the village of Nagyrév, Hungary, midwife Zsuzsanna Fazekas was more than a caretaker - she was a confidanteShe helped poor women give birth; she assisted them with abortions; and she listened. Their stories were the same: husbands who drank, who beat them, who made their lives unbearable.
In response, Auntie Zsuzsi asked one question: "Why bother with them?"
Her solution was arsenicSoon, women began slipping this concoction, made by dissolving flypaper in water, into their husbands'' porridge, stews, and brandy. And over the next twenty years, the quiet village became the epicenter of one of the deadliest poisoning epidemics of the 20th century - according to some estimates, up to 300 people in the region were murdered.
Why did they do it? How did these murders spin out of control? How did these women get away with their crimes for two decades?
In The Women Are Not Fine, journalist Hope Reese pieces together archival newspapers, court documents, police records, and the vital work of historians, sociologists, and psychologists, diving deep into the truth behind this extraordinary eventHer findings serve as a stark warning: when women in a community are pushed to the brink, the consequences reverberate through history.
The Women Are Not Fine is more than a true crime story. It''s a timely, haunting exploration of what happens when women''s suffering goes unanswered.
