Produktbeschreibung

“Di Pietrantonio [has a] lively way with a phrase (the translator, Ann Goldstein, shows the same sensitivity she does with Elena Ferrante) [and] a fine instinct for detail.”— The Washington Post ★ “A gripping, deeply moving coming-of-age novel; immensely readable, beautifully written, and highly recommended.”— Kirkus Review (Starred Review) “Spellbinding.”— Publishers Weekly “A captivating tale about the trials of settling down, fitting in and battling on amid emotional upheaval.”— The Economist “An achingly beautiful book, and an utterly devastating one.”— Minneapolis Star Tribune “Donatella Di Pietrantonio employs sensitive and powerful prose to tell the conflicting coming-of-age story of mothers and daughters, of sisterhood, and of self-discovery.”— World Literature Today “With unflinching perception, in A Girl Returned Di Pietrantonio presents a heartrending tale of a child discarded, never quite reclaimed.”— Shelf Awareness “Set against the rugged landscape of Abruzzo, Italy, A Girl Returned explores the arbitrariness of origin and family relationships, and questions whether we really belong anywhere.”— New Statesman
