«Donne dagli occhi grandi» is the collection of short stories by Ángeles Mastretta published by Giunti Editore in paperback (216 pages, in Italian).
Short stories about married women whose lives unfold between home and family, yet who retain their own core of desires and decisions. In each story, a small gesture or a sign pushes them to take a different path than expected, with a blend of simplicity and lucidity that characterizes the author.
The work was originally published in Spanish in 1985 as «Mujeres de ojos grandes»; this Italian edition is translated by Gina Maneri.
For readers of short fiction and contemporary fiction interested in portraits of women and Latin American literature.
