The Mother by Grazia Deledda
The Mother by Grazia Deledda. Translated by Mary G. Steegmann. 1928 Macmillan Company, later printing, 239 pages. Deledda was from Sardinia and wrote about small simple life on the island and the people's suspicions. According to the Paris Review, "While she was not associated with the Italian feminist movement, the actions of her female characters suggest she considered marginalization to be heartbreaking, but not without certain liberties." Deledda won the Nobel Prize in 1926, the first Italian woman to do so, and The Mother is considered the book that helped her win.
