The English-language translation by Izidora Angel won the Gulf Coast Prize in Translation in the US, the Bulgarian news agency BTA reports.
Rene Karabash is the pen name of actress, film director and poet Irena Ivanova. She Who Remains is about a custom in Albania, whereby women in families living in remote mountain areas, in which there is no male heir, take an oath to never marry and to play the role of men. The translations of the novel have evoked interest in Egypt, France, Poland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and North Macedonia; the book is to be released in several other countries as well. She Who Remains is to be adapted for the screen in a Bulgaria-Italy-Romania-Albania co-production, directed by Kostadin Bonev.
