«Mal de piedras» is the romantic novel by Milena Agus, published by Debolsillo in hardcover (192 pages, in Spanish).
Grandmother is a peasant woman from Sardinia to whom everything comes late: she enters an arranged marriage and finds unexpected love at a spa she visits to treat her kidney stones, her «mal de piedra». That ailment becomes a symbol of the wounds we all carry within; a story of solitude, desire, and the search for happiness.
Translated from Italian (original title: «Mal di pietre», 2006), published in the Best Seller collection by Debolsillo. Winner of the Forte Village, Santa Marinella, and Elsa Morante awards.
