Hailed upon publication for its "relentless clarity and moral resonance of an ancient legend" (The Plain Dealer), Irini Spanidou's first novel, God's Snake, introduced one of contemporary literature's most memorable young heroines, Anna Karystinou. Anna returns in Fear, a novel of equally brilliant confidence.It is now 1959, and thirteen-year-old Anna is a perpetual newcomer, moving from place to place with her family. Her father, a demanding army colonel, has raised her to be invulnerable and proud. But Anna's confident air belies her anxiety as she grapples with her burgeoning sexuality, and begins an uneasy friendship with the smug and challenging Veronica Koroneou. When Anna learns that a serial killer is preying on young women nearby, she is lured toward the source of her terror. From a unique and brutally honest angle, Fear is an unflinching portrait of a girl's difficult transition into womanhood.
