Alba de Céspedes There's No Turning Back

Produktbeskrivelse

Discover the astonishingly powerful debut novel by the beloved feminist author of the "brilliant" ( The Wall Street Journal ) Forbidden Notebook and the "courageous" ( The Washington Post ) Her Side of the Story that was so subversive, it was banned by the Italian Fascist regime when it was first published in 1938 . A coming-of-age novel that is as relevant today as it was nearly ninety years ago, There's No Turning Back centers on eight women with radically different backgrounds who attend the same college in Rome. Some are there to study, others to escape a scandal, or keep a secret, and during their time there, they experience the challenges of love, work, and emancipation. Considered experimental and revolutionary at the time, this novel established Alba de C?spedes as a powerful new voice in the 20th century. Translated by Ann Goldstein, There's No Turning Back demonstrates why de C?spedes deserves "an important place in the canon of women's literature" ( Chicago Review of Books ).
