Description

A captivating rediscovered Italian classic: the moving story of a woman's slow rebellion against her bourgeois family life'A wrenching, sardonic depiction of a woman caught in a social trap' Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Out running an errand, Valeria Cossati gives in to a sudden impulse - she buys a shiny black notebook.

She starts keeping a diary in secret, recording her concerns about her daughter, fears her husband will discover her new habit and the constant churn of the domestic routine.

With each entry Valeria plunges deeper into her interior life, uncovering profound dissatisfaction and restlessness.

As she finds her own voice, the roles that have come to define her-as wife, as mother, as daughter-begin to break apart. Forbidden Notebook is a rediscovered jewel of Italian literature, published here in a new translation by the celebrated Ann Goldstein and with a foreword by Jhumpa Lahiri.

A captivating feminist classic, it is an intimate, haunting story of domestic discontent in postwar Rome, and of one woman's awakening to her true thoughts and desires.
