Marianna Sirca
درباره این ای-کتاب
John Alvey in The Modern Novel
'Richly imagined and uncompromising in its powerful descriptions, Marianna Sirca is an engrossing novel that vividly evokes a time and place far removed from the modern world. It left me curious to read more of Deledda’s extensive body of work.'
Aneesa Abbas Higgins in The Riveter
