The August moon
Anna is an elementary school student and a constant headache for her mother, who insists that "females should not have big feet, nor a big mouth, nor a big belly, nor big ideas." However, Anna doesn't consider herself a typical girl! As soon as she realized that she doesn't like girlish games, she sought and found the company of boys. They will soon dub her their leader. But what will happen to Anna when her feminine nature begins to take the lead? Games and entanglements in a seemingly quiet provincial town that hides many secrets. The novel is the first part of the tetralogy "Anna, then and always," where we follow Anna's life from the late 1950s, when she was still a girl growing up in the province, to the mid-1970s, immediately after the dictatorship. At the same time, we experience with her the turbulent 1960s in Athens, where she had moved.

About the Author

Η Βούλα Μάστορη (1945-2016) γεννήθηκε στο Αγρίνιο. Πρωτοεμφανίστηκε στον χώρο της παιδικής λογοτεχνίας το 1975, με το βιβλίο "Με λένε Αλέξη". Τα έργα της διακρίνονται από ρεαλιστικό στοιχείο και φεμινιστική διάθεση. Η πρώτη της μεγάλη επιτυχία ήταν το βιβλίο "Ένα γεμάτο μέλια χεράκι" (1978, 14 εκδόσεις), με θέμα την καταγραφή των σχέσεων μέσα σε μια οικογένεια, θέμα που παρέμεινε κυρίαρχο στα έργα της μαζί με εκείνο της ανίχνευσης της γυναικείας ταυτότητας. Οι δυο αυτοί άξονες βρήκαν την πληρότητά τους στην τετραλογία "Τ' αυγουστιάτικο φεγγάρι" (1982), "Στο γυμνάσιο" (1991), "Ένα-Ένα-Τέσσερα" (1993) και "Κάτω απ' την καρδιά της" (1995). Έγραψε συνολικά περίπου 50 βιβλία για παιδιά και εφήβους και τρία για ενήλικες ("Το παραμύθι των ψυχών", 2003· "Γυναίκα μπονσάι", 2012· "Στη χώρα των θαυμάτων", 2016). Βραβεύτηκε από τη Γυναικεία Λογοτεχνική Συντροφιά, τον Κύκλο Ελληνικού Παιδικού Βιβλίου, την Εταιρεία Ελλήνων Λογοτεχνών, το Υπουργείο Πολιτισμού και τιμήθηκε με Κρατικό Βραβείο Παιδικής Λογοτεχνίας το 2005 και με αναγραφή του ονόματός της στον Διεθνή Τιμητικό Πίνακα IBBY. Το 2008 υπήρξε υποψήφια για το διεθνές Βραβείο Άντερσεν. Αποσπάσματα βιβλίων της διδάσκονται στα αναγνωστικά και ανθολόγια πρωτοβάθμιας και δευτεροβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης. Πέθανε στην Αθήνα στις 21 Νοεμβρίου 2016, έπειτα από πολύμηνη μάχη με τον καρκίνο.
