With an Introduction by D. H. Lawrence. (Awarded the Nobel Prize 1928). An unusual book, both in its story and its setting in a remote Sardinian hill village, half civilised and superstitious. The action of the story takes place so rapidly and the actual drama is so interwoven with the mental conflict, and all so forced by circumstances, that it is almost Greek in its simple and inevitable tragedy. | The Mother - A Novel by Grazia Deledda, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
