''Wir töten Stella'' (''We Murder Stella''〔(Haushofer's bibliography ) at ''The Literary Encyclopedia'' cites ''We Murder Stella'' as the English title. A translation into Dutch by Daan Cartens is entitled, ''Wij doden Stella''. A French translation of the novella was published in 1995 under the title, ''Nous avons tué Stella''.〕) is a novella by Austrian writer Marlen Haushofer first published in 1958 about the death of the eponymous heroine, a 19-year-old woman who has just begun to experience her awakening sexuality. Narrated by Anna, a 40-year-old mother of two in whose house Stella has spent her final months, ''Wir töten Stella'' provides an insight into the bourgeois society of post-war Austria and paints a picture of a deteriorating family whose overall ambition is to keep up appearances. ==Plot introduction==
Set in the late 1950s,〔The narrator mentions the fact that her 15-year-old son Wolfgang is a wartime child.〕 the novella takes the form of a written confession committed to paper in the course of a weekend shortly after Stella's death during which the narrator is alone at home, as her husband Richard and their two children have left the city to visit Richard's mother. Anna realizes that on the surface level everything is back to normal again now that Stella is no longer around: an intruder imposed on the family who was threatening to upset the equilibrium carefully, and tacitly, maintained by each family member has left again. However, Anna cannot but delve deeper into the matter: guilt-ridden, and unable to find any peace of mind, let alone happiness, she remembers many details of Stella's stay in the house, and starts relating the events that have led to the catastrophe of her death in chronological order.
