Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked The Woman Outlaw as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Here is the appeal of a different kind of story. This novella tells the story of an aristocratic Sicilian woman who, in the wake of the unification of 1860, becomes a brigand, which is to say, a partisan, fighting against the new regime.
The protagonist's unique experience is the key to this narrative, which translates into English very well.
From Jacqueline's list on Sicilian women and their lives.
