The touching and painfully honest dialogue of a mother with her unborn child, written by the famous Italian journalist and writer Oriana Fallaci, has been delighting generations of readers around the world for decades.
The book consists of several stories that explore the complexity of human behavior, often through an ironic and satirical depiction of everyday life.
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.
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.
