This is the continuation of Agamemnon's Daughter. When Enver Hoxha, the Albania dictator of four decades, died, Suzana's father became the designated successor. But because of the pressure imposed by the party to the Successor, brought about by the engagement of Suzana, he committed suicide. Or was he murdered? This novel showed the arbitrariness of a despotic regime on the vantage points of the Minister of the Interior, the Architect, the Guide, and finally, The Successor. The conclusion is shocking, but shallow.
