The book consists of several stories that explore the complexity of human behavior, often through an ironic and satirical depiction of everyday life.
Days of Forgetting (2002), a novel by Italian mystery writer Elena Ferrante, delves into the depths of a woman's psyche through a story of sudden abandonment. For readers seeking a mirror in pain – a novel about the fall and rise of a woman in solitude.
The novel is an important representative of verismo, Italian realism, and depicts the lives of people from the south of Italy, especially the conflicts between the poor peasantry and the decaying aristocracy.
The novel follows the declining Roman bourgeois family of Ardengo over the course of several days: widow Mariagrazia, lover Leo, son Michele, and daughter Carla – all trapped in apathy, lies, sexual manipulation, and moral indifference.
The novel depicts the tragic fate of Mariuta (Marije Zef) and her younger sister Rosuta. The work shocked contemporaries with its boldness in depicting taboo subjects, and is today considered a classic portrait of female suffering in rural Italy.
An astrological guide for broken hearts tells a humorous and sharp irony story about the ups and downs of a modern woman full of life, contradictions, and hope.
