"The House Speaks" by Katerina Gaganeli is a deeply moving text that touches on the issue of domestic violence in an allegorical and profoundly striking way. The "house" gains a soul, emotions, and a voice; it is a hero, an observer, and ultimately a witness to the truth. Every sound, every crack hides a voice that was not spoken, a scream that was not heard. Until the house itself reacts. It does not remain silent. It shouts. It asks for help. "The door knocks. The house breathes deeply," the author states. In the end, hope can find a way out even in the darkness, as long as we break fear and silence.
