“One of Italy’s most cosmopolitan, incendiary, insightful, and overlooked writers.”--Jhumpa Lahiri. “This piercing critique of traditional bourgeois value of respectability and sacrifice, ...[with] understanding of women’s interior lives...dellivers a portrayal of the dynamics of domestic life.”--publisher’s blurb. Our copy is hardback, like-new with dust jacket.
