    About this ebook

    "Nostalgia" by Grazia Deledda is the story of a woman from northern Italy who moves to Rome with her new husband. Many miles away from home, she finds herself missing home and everything she's left behind. A sweet and heartwrenching tale, this book captures the differences between northern and southern Italy and how, though it might be a small country, the distance can seem vast when everything you know is far away.

    Grazia Deledda

    Grazia Deledda was born in 1871 in Nuoro, Sardinia. The street has been renamed after her, via Grazia Deledda. She finished her formal education at 11. She published her first short story when she was 16 and her first novel, Stella D'Oriente in 1890 in a Sardinian newspaper when she was 19. Leaves Nuoro for the first time in 1899 and settles in Cagliari, the principal city of Sardinia where she meets the civil servant Palmiro Madesani who she marries in 1900 and they move to Rome. Grazia Deledda writes her best work between 1903-1920 and establishes an international reputation as a novelist. Nearly all of her work in this period is set in Sardinia. Publishes Elias Portolu in 1903. La Madre is published in 1920. She wins the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926 and received it in a ceremony the following year. She dies in 1936 and is buried in the church of Madonna della Solitudine in Nuoro, near to where she was born.
