La donna che abita la Montagna

Summary

Bilquis is a woman who lives alone in a remote forest house, in the middle of nowhere. She has fled her own town to avoid execution for committing a crime. While peacefully living out her lonely days, she accidentally hits a little girl with an arrow while hunting. Bilquis decides to take the girl home and treat her wound, before it becomes infected. This unfortunate event further reminds Bilquis of the crime she committed in her hometown, and she is haunted by the personification of what appears to be her sense of guilt.
