Isolina is a novel by Italian writer Dacia Maraini, published in 1992. Set in Milan, the story follows the life of Isolina, a woman whose body is found dismembered. Through an intense and moving narrative, Maraini explores themes of violence, oppression, and the search for identity in a society marked by inequality and prejudice. With evocative prose and complex characters, Isolina invites reflection on the human condition and the challenges women face in a hostile world.
