## Description

Two Women tells of the effect of war and its attendant disruption of the lives of ordinary people - on Cesira, the prosperous widow shopkeeper and on her beloved 17 year old daughter, Rosetta. In a series of unforgettable scenes the author tells, through the mouth of the mother, of hardships, perils, disillusionment and despair - and of the final persistence, in spite of every tribulation, of the good in  human nature.

This is an intensely moving novel. The author has created in the mother a character so intensely, warmly human, that we share her every thought and deed, her strengths and frailties, her despair and, in the final pages of the book, her hopes reborn.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Survival in Italy during the Second World War
  

*by R***Y on 14 September 2017*









  
  
    An interesting novel that sets out to show the effects of war and how society and accepted standards of behaviour break down. It tells the story of a mother and daughter  who are forced to flee from Rome as the Germans and the Allies fight for the control of Italy. Living amongst the peasants is difficult and in the end everything seems to be lost. The characterisation is very sketchy and stereotyped and this reduces the emotional impact of the story.

    Bleakly luminous, extremely well-written and strongly imagined story of two Italian refugees
  

*by V***S on 20 March 2014*









  
  
    An astonishing act of imagination. This bleakly luminous Italian refugee war story is told from the point of view of Cesira, a slightly grasping shopkeeper of peasant stock. She flees from Rome with her innocent daughter, vainly seeking refuge from war in the mountains south of the city.The harshly beautiful landscape is marvellously evoked at every turn. There is a particularly lyrical section when Cesira, her daughter, Rosetta, and their only friend, Michele, roam the mountain tops looking for berries and other food.But most of all one remembers the calculating but gradually softening intelligence and limited hopes of Cesira as she struggles to survive. The transformation of her daughter after she is raped is tellingly described, as is the relentless petty greed of most of the villagers in Sant' Eufemia, where Cesira and Rosetta hide for many months.I am surprised that the book is not still in print. It is very well written, extremely realistic and credible. The  sensitive 1961 translation by Davidson has stood the test of time.
