La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community. Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.

Se gli animali

In Se gli animali una donna cerca di capire cosa le è accaduto dopo la nascita del primo figlio, un’esperienza così buia che la fa scontrare con la lingua e il significato delle parole. Il regno animale, miti antichi, foto, mail e persino liste della spesa stilate durante la gravidanza: è in loro che la donna cerca un appiglio. Come si diventa, anche tempo dopo aver messo al mondo il proprio figlio, comunque madri? E come si riuniscono i cocci di un essere umano, dopo che è andato in frantumi?

La sentenza

Two scoundrels were ordered to execute a snitch. Wandering through the mountains and villages, they are hunted by their past. A dreamlike parable set in a brutal world with characters grasped by their own fear.
