First edition of the author’s classic war novel. Octavo, original boards. Fine in a near fine dust jacket.
Two Women tells of the effect of war and its attendant disruption of the lives of ordinary people - Cesira, the prosperous widow of a shopkeeper and on her beloved 17-year old daughter, Rosetta. In a series of dramatic scenes the author tells, through the mouth of the mother, of hardships, perils, disillusionment and despair - and of the final persistence, in spite of every tribulation, of the good in human nature.
