The University of Chicago Press
book cover
In an Italian village during the cold winter of 1943, the local fascist supporters capture a woman suspected of collaboration with the partisans. She is also in the late stages of pregnancy. Based on true incidents, Laudomia Bonanni’s compact and tragic novel explores the overwhelming conflicts between ideology and community, justice and vengeance. Its themes of revenge, sacrifice, and violence emerge as universal, delivered in prose that is at once lyrical and brutal. Our free e-book for July is a novel, The Reprisal
“It is a travesty that English language readers have been denied this profound, gritty novel for so long as it raises serious questions about humanity's ability to justify violence.”—Publishers Weekly
