«Il peccato» is the novel by Josephine Hart, published by Feltrinelli in paperback (160 pages, in Italian).
Ruth, a cold and self-centered woman, sees her cousin Elizabeth, adopted by her parents, as a usurper of family affection. Her envy becomes a destructive obsession: as a child she steals her toys, as a teenager her clothes, and as an adult she tries to seduce the men Elizabeth loves, in a spiral of hatred, admiration and self-destruction.
The novel was originally published as «Sin» in 1992; this edition, translated by Vincenzo Mantovani, is number 35 in the I Canguri collection from Feltrinelli.
Suitable for readers of psychological thrillers and literary fiction interested in the exploration of obsession and envy.
