Grazia Deledda's The Mother Published

We are happy to announce the publication of a new English translation of Grazia Deledda’s The Mother (La Madre, 1920) by Martha Witt and Mary Ann Frese Witt.

Set in the small Sardinian village of Aar, The Mother powerfully reveals a very contemporary crisis of moral certitude and a spiritual unraveling that leads to unexpected consequences.

D.H. Lawrence alerted English-language readers to Deledda when he wrote the preface to an early translation of La Madre, one of her most important works. However, he failed to understand her power to remain an enduring literary figure. Her ability to blend seemingly ancient morals and codes with the most modern concerns continues to attract readers almost a century after her death.
