Publishers Weekly (starred review)Wrenching, sardonic. Kirkus (starred review)As relevant today as it was in postwar Italy.' Shelf Awareness (starred review)With a foreword by Jhumpa Lahiri, Forbidden Notebook is a classic domestic novel by the ItalianCuban feminist writer Alba de Cspedes, whose work inspired contemporary writers like Elena Ferrante.In this modern translation by acclaimed Elena Ferrante translator Ann Goldstein, Forbidden Notebook centers the inner life of a dissatisfied housewife living in postwar Rome.Valeria Cossati never suspected how unhappy she had become with the shabby gentility of her bourgeois lifeuntil 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. As the conflicts between parents and children, husband and wife, and friends and lovers intensify, what goes on behind the Cossatis facade of middleclass respectability gradually comes to light, tearing the familys fragile fabric apart.An exquisitely crafted portrayal of domestic life, Forbidden Notebook recognizes the universality of human aspirations.
