Behind Closed Doors
Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked Behind Closed Doors as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
These short stories about ordinary Sicilian women of the early years of the twentieth century bring us a gritty realism that may bring tears to your eyes.
Not only is this great literature, albeit in translation, but it also provides an insight into the history of Sicilian life and emigration. We usually read about this from the American point of view. Here, it is presented from an Italian perspective. In my opinion, it's useful and informative to read both.
From Jacqueline's list on Sicilian women and their lives.
