Honest Souls: (Troubador Storia)
Anna Malvas is taken in by her uncle Paolo Velena and his family soon after she becomes an orphan. Anna enters their home as a child and grows into adulthood, falling in and out of love and eventually blossoming into a poised young woman. Along the way, Anna's vivid descriptive narrative accompanies us as we discover the Sardinia of the late 19th-century. Anna's story is set around cameo-like vignettes interpresed with simple details - descriptions of a wedding dress and the scented white paper it is wrapped within, the intricacies of Richelieu embroidery, the procedure for sun drying tomatoes - which enhance the fabric of the story. Throughout Honest Souls, Anna's story is inbibed with folkloric zest, making the novel a valuable snapshot of the small-town Sardinia of her day.
