«Arrivederci piccole donne» is the contemporary novel by Marcela Serrano, published by Mondadori in hardcover (269 pages, in Italian).
Four cousins —Nieves, Ada, Luz and Lola— embody Louisa May Alcott's «little women» in the second half of the 20th century. The narrative follows them from Chile at the time of the 1973 coup to the 9/11 attacks, with exile, love and political transformations as the backdrop to their lives.
Italian translation by Michela Finassi Parolo, published in 2005. The original Spanish title is «Hasta siempre, mujercitas». Mondadori's 'I miti' collection.
For readers of contemporary fiction interested in female portraits and re-readings of the classics.
Marcela Serrano is a Chilean novelist. In 1994, her first novel, Para que no me olvides, won the Literary Prize in Santiago, and her second book, Nosotras que nos queremos tanto, won the Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz Prize for women writers in Spanish. She received the runner-up award in the renowned Premio Planeta competition in 2001 for her novel Lo que está en mi corazón. Carlos Fuentes has quoted her description of the modern woman as "having the capacity to change skin like a snake, freeing herself from the inevitability and servitude of more obsolete times."
