Dopo il divorzio by Grazia Deledda
"Dopo il divorzio" by Grazia Deledda is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Giovanna, a woman engulfed in despair after her husband, Costantino, is sentenced to a lengthy prison term for a crime he may not have committed. As she navigates her sorrow and the societal implications of her husband's fate, the narrative explores themes of love, loss, and the struggles women face within the confinesof a patriarchal society. The opening of the novel introduces us to Giovanna, who is deeply distressed while sitting in her family's guest room. Her emotional turmoil is only exacerbated by her aunt, Zia Porredda, who attempts to console her but fails to understand the depth of her pain. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the setting and the characters, revealing a close-knit community within the backdrop of a small Italian village.
