Summary | "Tre Donne" by Bruno Sperani is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the impoverished rural landscape of Val Mis'cia, highlighting the struggles of its inhabitants, particularly three women: Maria, Cristina, and Virginia, whose lives intertwine amidst love, betrayal, and hardship. The narrative delves into the challenges faced by these characters, exploring themes of duty, sacrifice, and the pursuit of happiness in a harsh environment. The opening of "Tre Donne" introduces us to the somber atmosphere in Val Mis'cia, where the community is mourning the tragic death of a young woman named Giulia, who had suffered an accident at work. As the women return from their daily toil, discussions about Giulia’s untimely demise reveal their vulnerability and the oppressive reality of their lives. We meet Maria, Giulia's friend, who is portrayed as hard-working yet conflicted, dealing with the weight of a loveless marriage to Sandro, and her sister Cristina, who expresses a profound discontent with their harsh existence. The reader is immediately drawn into the emotional landscape of these women's lives, setting the stage for the subsequent drama that unfolds throughout the novel.
