Death of a young, brilliant and beautiful Aeginetan. The Marianna Brown story.
Marianna's family is of British origin and is, as it were, one of the local "notable" families on this island since the late nineteenth century. She was an undoubted virtuoso as a pianist and performed here in Aegina as recently as August 2023. These are the pieces she played:
It impressed me that after such a staggering performance this "local girl made good" was given what seemed a relatively low-key reception on her return to her home town. And then, it must have been in October, she proceeded to die of "long COVID". (After four [or five] jabs). In August she had shown no sign of illness.

Although Aegina is where "chemtrails conspiracy theory" started in Greece, with Europe's first public meeting against the spraying in 2003 and a mayor and municipal council attempting legal action until told by solicitors not to proceed, there was the same social gulf here as anywhere else between "respectable" (kathos prepei) people and the "psekasmenous". Here is one of the consequences.
