THIS ITALIAN CLASSICis based on Deledda’s own life and tells the the story of an aspiring young writer growing up in Nuoro, Sardinia during the last decades of the nineteenth century when formal education for women was rare and literary careers unheard of. It also reads like a charming fable with details of family life, rural traditions and wild bandits, and it is full of tender memories Deledda was the second woman and second Italian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. First English translation by Martha King— Google Books
