Forty centuries after the biblical destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, that same land on the shores of the Dead Sea opens up, and a mysterious violet salt emerges. Its appearance alters the geography of three continents and monopolizes market interest. This new substance does not serve, but is served. It enslaves with its whims. It captivates with its flavor. It dominates with its silent influence.

The modern Sodom, the "Colony", proves to be craftier than even its biblical counterpart. A stifling atmosphere surrounds its well-hidden secrets, and only one man is able to uncover them: the unsuspecting Phileas Bouk, who one night different from the others will be called to solve the most important crossword ever devised. What did Lot's wife see?

A spectacular novel, a continuous intellectual game, a unique allegory about fear, sin, and guilt, lurking at times in the damp streets of "seaside" Paris and at other times in the dark corridors of human consciousness.

“A fictional event […] Is What Did Lot's Wife See? really that significant? Yes […] A narration with so many successive twists and denials that you wonder what will happen next in each chapter and the whole work together.” Elizabet Koziá, I Kathimerini

“A Orwellian-inspired epistolary thriller with suspense, political perspective, and multiple allegories in the fields of politics, economics, society, and religion.” Manolis Pimplis, Ta Nea

“I will dare to take another step into the dazzling labyrinth that Bourazopoulou has set for us. Her book is above all a hymn to unfettered fiction and its other half, reading with open eyes and an even more open mind.” Nikos Panagiotopoulos, Eleftheros Typos

“An original allegorical novel, highly captivating and at the same time sufficiently political.” Nikos Koumenis, I Avgi
