«Donne dagli occhi grandi» is the short story collection by Ángeles Mastretta, published by Giunti Editore in paperback (176 pages, in Italian).
The women in these stories live under the apparent placidity of domestic life, but at decisive moments their personalities emerge: one falls in love with the sea and seeks it, another reunites with an old love in the treetop. Ángeles Mastretta thus portrays female rebellion, desire, and identity in short stories.
Work originally published in Spanish as «Mujeres de ojos grandes» (1985); this Italian edition features a translation by Gina Maneri and belongs to the Tascabili Giunti collection.
For readers of short fiction interested in stories with female protagonists and a feminist perspective.
