“... It’s a difficult thing to be a woman. And if your womb inadvertently bears fruit, do not make a sound to a priest. Discuss it with your heart and mind. And do not think that you will commit murder and go to Hell if you believe there is no other solution. We are angel-makers, you should say. We send little angels to Paradise so they do not live in the Hell of this world.”
This is how the notebook of Pagona, the deceased midwife of Paradise, the village where Anthi, the daughter of the cunning Father Drosos, grew up in the 1960s, was written. From this relic and from Loula the prostitute, she desperately sought help to save herself from the dilemma in which she found herself inadvertently trapped.
The heroine will unexpectedly find the way out in the monastery of Agia Lechousa thanks to the knowledge of the nun Yakinthi and the self-sacrifice of the teacher Stratis Klonaridis. Since then, she fights in the basement of Hera Street 12 for women's right to decide over their heart and body. Only until her last moments is she tormented by the primal doubt whether she is a murderer or... an angel-maker, whether self-determination and freedom are a sin or a right.
A book that proves that woman is the comma, the period, and the exclamation mark in every meaning of life. A woman is not merely the supplement in a man's life, akin to an appendix in a text. She is the comma, the period, and the exclamation mark in the creation of the Almighty. And if she is placed in the wrong position, the meaning of this world is lost.
