About this deal

Novel doesn't feel like the correct descriptor for this slim and delicate self-portrait of a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown. We see the church at the top of the hill, and an ancient olive tree decorated with shiny red balls, in place of a Christmas tree.

This “little triangle” of language is part of the magic of the city for her, she says, “and it is waiting for me in the piazza. And yet, even as I was writing, I felt shadowed by two questions: 1) when would the text be turned into English, and 2) who would translate it?

If she'd explored that more, rather than wandering the city and using each short chapter to muse about some random topic, I would've felt more invested in her story. Are they really, I wonder… Solitude and its management is after all part of our lives much more than we’d care (or dare) to admit.

Growing up in Rhode Island (her father, like many of her characters, worked at the university), with frequent trips to Calcutta, she felt her story to be “much more complicated” than those of her school friends: “There was always ‘the other place’ and ‘the other language’ and ‘the other world’. Definitely though a worthwhile read and one I would not be surprised at all to see longlisted for the Booker – although this time the International 2022 version (the 2021 prize being the first to feature a self-translated book). Though it covers around one year of her life (context clues are given by occasional references to the seasons), the happenings are very interior. Yet, I cannot think of a more elegant and stirring representation of this past year and a half of isolation and sadness and anxiety than this lovely book.The novel takes place during a single year, and our narrator will often remark on the current season. I’m not sure if I’ll check out her upcoming collection Roman Stories when it comes out though no matter what I’m grateful for her already existing body of work. Nell’arco di un anno e nel susseguirsi delle stagioni, la donna arriverà a un «risveglio», in un giorno di mare e di sole pieno che le farà sentire con forza il calore della vita, del sangue.
