«Amor robado» is the collection of eight short stories by Dacia Maraini, published by Galaxia Gutenberg in hardcover (144 pages, in Spanish).
Amor robado brings together eight stories about women who fight without giving up against partners who confuse passion with the urge to possess. Dacia Maraini shows male violence: Marina does not report the husband who beats her, Francesca is raped by schoolmates who are acquitted, and Alessandra rejects the child of a rape.
Translation by David Paradela López. Original title: «L'amore rubato» (2012). Belongs to the Narrativa collection.
It is intended for readers of contemporary fiction interested in stories with a gender perspective and social denunciation.
