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.

Narušení děje

Siamo negli anni Settanta quando William “Mole Man” Lyttle scava, nel tunnel sotto la propria casa, una frase destinata a influenzare irrevocabilmente il corso del mondo: “Le nostre vite non ci sembrano più delle storie”. La protagonista di questo romanzo autofinzionale è Emma, trentatré anni, impegnata a comprendere le proprie radici ceche, a elaborare la morte della madre e a trovare una risposta alla scomparsa della compagna. Intorno a lei la storia non scorre: si accumula, si frammenta. Tra le sue macerie si innalzano acque sempre più minacciose e si propagano incendi sempre più vasti. Emma attraversa tutto questo nel tentativo di allontanarsi da un amore in cui si vince e si perde allo stesso tempo. Nel suo racconto arriviamo alla fine insieme, oppure ciascuno per conto proprio; ciò che resta è la storia. E con essa una domanda: il racconto può aiutare a fare i conti con la tragedia?

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.
