Read Around the World Book Club – A Girl Returned by Donatella Di Pietrantonio

This month’s focus is Italy with the book A Girl Returned. “I was the Arminuta, the girl returned. I spoke another language, I no longer knew who I belonged to. The word ‘mama’ stuck in my throat like a toad. And, nowadays, I really have no idea what kind of place mother is. It is not mine in the way one might have good health, a safe place, certainty.” Place the book on hold at hpl.pub/catalog.
