Bridging genres and form and revolving around a woman in a remote Albanian mountain village who renounces her sex to escape a forced marriage, She Who Remains is a haunting exploration of agency, identity and truth caught in the teeth of ancient patriarchal laws.
Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2026
High in the Accursed Mountains, in a village ruled by the ancient laws of the Kanun, Bekija escapes an arranged marriage by becoming a sworn virgin, renouncing her womanhood to live as a man. Her decision sets off a brutal chain of events, destroying her family and separating her from the one she loves the most.
Years later, as Bekija - now Matija - tells their story to a visiting journalist, long-buried truths come to light, along with the realization of all that might have been.
