Every Hour Hurts, the Last Kills

Tama has been serving a wealthy family since she was eight, has no right to leave the house, endures beatings, manages to remain a living person in inhuman conditions, and dreams of freedom, not remembering what it is. An unnamed... seriously wounded girl arrives at the home of the unstable grieving recluse Gabriel, not remembering anything about herself at all. The recluse, alas, remembers everything about himself and deals with his memories violently because they are killing him. All three are destined to liberate themselves from slavery – both literal and metaphorical – and in the end, each will find their difficult path to freedom. The books of the queen of thrillers Karin Jibell have been translated into dozens of languages and have received numerous literary awards, including the Prix Polar for the best novel in French. For the novel ‘Every Hour Hurts, the Last Kills’, she received the ‘Golden Pen of French Thriller’ and the Prix de l’Eveche. This novel by Jibell was inspired by real stories of women who lost their freedom and faced extreme forms of violence – it turned out to be a thriller about human cruelty, redemption, and personal freedom, which is very costly and sometimes paid for only with blood.
