Lena Divani recounts bizarre London roommate experience

Author Lena Divani shared a personal anecdote during an appearance on the television program ‘Studio 3’, describing a bizarre living situation she experienced while residing in London.

Divani recounted living with a woman from Chios for one year. She initially believed her roommate was merely intrusive, noting that the woman would listen to her phone calls and read her letters. However, the situation escalated when Divani realized the woman suffered from a psychological condition that led her to believe she was actually Divani herself.

Divani also reflected on the social background of her former roommate, noting the strict traditional upbringing in Chios where women often managed households alone for long periods due to men being away, which she suggested contributed to the woman's complex psychological state.
