In Sardinia’s traditional culture an ‘Accabadora’ is the secret, revered position of an angel of mercy that responds to a family’s plea. In this beautiful, poignant and powerful novel, Maria believes she is the adopted daughter of a seamstress, until she finds out the truth. This is an emotional tale which challenged my perceptions about euthanasia, and the issues surrounding the people left behind.
