Description: This book tells the story of an aspiring female writer who grows up during the last decades of 19th century Sardinia. Formal education for women was rare at that time, and literary careers virtually unheard of. It describes the young woman's struggle against the disapproval of her family and friends at her creative ambitions, but it also contains rich details of family life and rural traditions.
