More DescriptionIrini Spanidou's highly praised first novel, God's Snake, introduced a writer of rare perception and a character, Anna Karystinou, with whom readers fell in love.nbsp;nbsp;In Fear, the author returns to Anna as she comes of age.
It is now 1959, and thirteen-year old Anna is a perpetual newcomer, moving from place to place with her family.nbsp;nbsp;Her father, a demanding army colonel, has raised her to be invulnerable and proud.nbsp;nbsp;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.nbsp;nbsp;When Anna learns that a serial killer is preying on young women nearby, she is lured toward the sourch of her terror.nbsp;nbsp;From a unique and brutally honest angle, Fear is an unflinching protrait of a girl's difficult transition into womanhood.
