Tupa bol

Milena Agus

Milena Agus is an award-winning Italian writer. Tupa bol is a novel that brought her international fame, and it was also made into a movie directed by Nicole Garcia and starring Marion Cotillard.

A young, unnamed woman recalls the life of her eccentric, unconventional grandmother. We meet Baka in 1943 - while American bombs are falling on Cagliari - as a thirty-year-old woman who lives with her parents, and is considered a spinster by the community.

After the bombing stops, her father forces her to marry the first man who proposes to her, an elderly widower whom she does not love. After several miscarriages, her husband sends her to a spa where she meets a passionate war veteran. Nine months after returning from the spa, she gives birth to a child, and years later will try to track down the love of her life.
