«Antenora» is the novel by Margaret Mazzantini, published by 10/18 in paperback (176 pages, in French).
In an empty church, before the body of her grandmother Antenora, the narrator traces three generations of her family and reconstructs her life from memories and anecdotes both tender and cruel. The portrait of the grandmother intersects with twentieth-century Italian history: fascism, the postwar period, her sons going off to the front, and final solitude.
French edition from the Domaine étranger collection. Original title: «Il catino di zinco» (1994), translated into French by Vincent Raynaud.
For readers of family-memory novels and stories of women in twentieth-century Italy.
