I, ANNA

First published in 1984, this haunting psychological suspense novel is now in production by Embargo films starring Charlotte Rampling and Gabriel Byrne. (German distribution through NFP/Warner Bros.)

Anna, a respectable middle-aged woman who has lost her husband to a younger woman, goes out one night to a Singles party. She leaves with a man but when things begin to go wrong, all of her pent-up loneliness and frustration explode in an act of violence so horrific that Anna blocks it out of her consciousness.

Elsa Lewin is a retired psychotherapist.
