Read With Alexandra (RWA)

Submitted by Alexandra Marino Durmišević

This month I took a look at Italy’s bestseller list and came across this phenomenon of a novel. I just had to see what all the hype was about. I listened to the translated audiobook version and was immersed in the tiny village of Lizzanello near Lecce, Italy.

We meet Anna, a northern Italian, who moves back to her husband’s hometown in Southern Italy. She quickly finds out that she does not fit in with the women in the town. She is a modern woman with modern thoughts—which challenge their old-world mentality. Bored and looking for a way to occupy her time, she applies for the newly available job as the town’s letter carrier. This causes quite a stir because it is not a job for a woman. However, Anna is determined to make a point and show that a woman is capable of working outside the home. Anna enjoys her days delivering news of family and friends, and she even reads letters aloud to the illiterate. Through this, Anna is the string that weaves through the village’s heart.
