Summary/Abstract: Zoia is Virgil Tănaseʼs most complex character, a strange woman who fights against her destiny, against the society and, in the end, against herself. Beautiful like a fairy, brave and fearless like a warior, she constantly wants to escape a prison – her family, her country or her own identity. Imaginative, she always creates a different story about her past, trying to become somebody else. She manages to fascinate every single man she meets, changing her loversʼs lives by making them addicted to her. There is only one person she does not succeed in creating a good relationship – her own mother that she hates because of her ethernal absence from her daughterʼs life. Zoia remains in the readerʼs memory due to her strong personality and the power of her acts.
