The Left-Handed Woman

The Left-Handed Woman, written by Peter Handke in 1976, is a novella that delicately explores the inner feelings of a young married woman who tries to live on her own with her child.

The story follows Marianne as she navigates her new life, developing new relationships and finding a sense of contentment in her solitude.

Handke's detached prose style adds to the introspective nature of the narrative.
