She starts keeping a diary in secret, recording her concerns about her daughter, the constant churn of the domestic routine and her fears that her husband will discover her new habit. With each entry Valeria plunges deeper into her interior life, uncovering profound dissatisfaction and restlessness. As she finds her own voice, the roles that have come to define her-as wife, as mother, as daughter-begin to break apart.Forbidden Notebook is a rediscovered jewel of Italian literature, published here in a new translation by the celebrated Ann Goldstein and with a foreword by Jhumpa Lahiri. A captivating feminist classic, it is an intimate, haunting story of domestic discontent in postwar Rome, and of one woman's awakening to her true thoughts and desires.Language: ItalianCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 198mmItem Length: 129mmAuthor: Alba de CéspedesTranslator: Ann GoldsteinContributor: Ann Goldstein (Translated by), Jhumpa Lahiri (Introduction by)Genre: FictionBook Series: Pushkin Press ClassicsRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
