Story
Valeria Cossati never suspected how unhappy she had become with the shabby gentility of her bourgeois life—until she begins to jot down her thoughts and feelings in a little black book she keeps hidden in a closet. This new secret activity leads her to scrutinize herself and her life more closely, and she soon realizes that her individuality is being stifled by her devotion and sense of duty toward her husband, daughter, and son.

Story
"Ho fatto male a comperare questo quaderno, malissimo. Ma ormai è troppo tardi per rammaricarmene, il danno è fatto": con queste parole inizia il suo diario Valeria Cossati, la protagonista di questo romanzo, una donna della classe media nell'Italia degli anni Cinquanta. Poco più di quarant'anni, due figli grandi, un marito disattento, un lavoro d'ufficio che svolge senza apparente passione, Valeria è assorbita dal ritmo "naturale" della quotidianità piccolo-borghese, schiacciata, senza quasi rendersene conto, tra i suoi ruoli di moglie, madre, impiegata.

Story
In Rome, Alessandra meets Francesco, a charismatic anti-fascist professor, who ostensibly admires and supports her sense of independence and justice. But she soon comes to recognize that even as she respects Francesco and is keen to participate in his struggle to reclaim their country from fascism, this respect is unrequited, and that her own beloved husband is ensnared by patriarchal conventions when it comes to their relationship.

Story
A coming-of-age novel that is as relevant today as it was nearly ninety years ago, There’s No Turning Back centers on eight women with radically different backgrounds who attend the same college in Rome. Some are there to study, others to escape a scandal, or keep a secret, and during their time there, they experience the challenges of love, work, and emancipation.

Si chiamano Vinca, Valentina, Augusta, Silvia, Xenia, Anna, Milly, Emanuela. Otto ragazze attorno ai vent'anni che si ritrovano tutte al collegio Grimaldi di Roma, tra l'autunno del 1934 e l'estate del 1936. Diverse per origine geografica e familiare, si affacciano alla vita adulta con attese differenti - l'amore, l'emancipazione professionale e intellettuale, il ritorno alle origini, la partenza -, e chiuderanno il loro percorso con scelte altrettanto differenti.

Story
"La storia di un grande amore e di un delitto": così l'autrice stessa definì "Dalla parte di lei". Narratrice e protagonista è Alessandra Corteggiani che in questo lungo memoriale rievoca le proprie vicende familiari e personali per raccontare - rigorosamente "dalla parte di lei" - la storia italiana degli anni a cavallo tra fascismo, resistenza e ricostruzione. Spicca in particolare il personaggio della madre, suicida per amore, di cui la figlia rifiuta di ripetere il destino.

Story
Nell'ottobre del 1961, dopo un lungo silenzio, Francesca scrive all'amica d'infanzia Isabella e le affida un incarico: conservare le lettere che le invierà e consegnarle al marito Guglielmo, nel caso in cui "qualcosa di grave" dovesse accadere. In quelle missive la donna svela il più scontato dei segreti, il tradimento con un architetto, Matteo, uomo dalla personalità sterilmente ribelle.

Story
«Durante i mesi di maggio e giugno 1968, mi trovavo a Parigi, in uno studio di rue de Tournon, sulla rive gauche, a due passi dalla Sorbona, da Saint-Germain-des-Prés, nel quartiere dov'è scoppiata la rivolta degli studenti e dove avevano luogo i loro scontri con la polizia. Non facevo altro che seguire ciò che accadeva attorno a me: mi recavo alla Sorbona, all'Odéon, assistevo ai dibattiti, alle riunioni, e lì come nelle strade devastate, disselciate, ingombre di automobili carbonizzate e puzzolenti di gas – incontravo i giovani rivoluzionari, li interrogavo, li spingevo a parlare.»

Story
Parigi, 1972. È nella notte che segna il passaggio dall'inverno alla primavera, tra il crepuscolo del 20 e l'alba del 21 marzo, che si snoda il lungo continuum narrativo che costituisce "Nel buio della notte". Il testo registra i pensieri, le conversazioni, i movimenti di una miriade di personaggi, una moltitudine brulicante che si muove tra piccoli appartamenti del Quartiere Latino e feste mondane, reparti psichiatrici e gallerie della metropolitana, bistrot e tassì.
