Accabadora lingers long
MACLEHOSE Press, a publishing house devoted to uncovering unique and generally overlooked foreign voices for the English language market, have hit aces yet again with this delicate gem. Accabadora is Italian writer Michela Murgia’s third novel, but her first to receive an English translation.
Acclaim for the book has already been effusive in her native land, earning six major literary prizes and achieving runaway best-seller status. It is not difficult to see why.
