Specifications
The great decline always begins with a slight slope, progresses a little further with obstacles, irregularities, and suddenly becomes slippery, flat, bare, vertical. It seems that Rosa was unaware of this. Young and beautiful, from a well-bred family, she only believed in the freshness of her sixteen years.
So when she visits a friend’s house, she cannot imagine that there awaits her the greatest upheaval of her life. An upheaval with consequences such as the loss of honesty and innocence. Fate sets traps for Rosa and leads her down rough paths. In the beginning, everything happens fearlessly, unconsciously, and not out of self-interest but under the pretense of romantic impulsiveness.
Later, everything becomes a habit, a mechanical life. How far will the terrible staircase that descends go, and what will happen when the shaking, the awakening, and the repentance arrive? Will she continue to wander in the dark, or will she change her life?
Ksenopoulos, with the frankness of an anatomist and a pedagogue, unfolds the story of a tragic heroine and captures her relationships with her family and social surroundings, heightening the reader's anxiety on every page.
