«La cattiva figlia» is the novel by Carla Cerati, published by Sperling & Kupfer in paperback (262 pages, in Italian).
Giulia needs space for her own life; her eighty-year-old mother demands attention from an ever-shrinking world. The narrative alternates the present of their relationship with the family past to understand the maternal figure, and shows misunderstandings, contradictions and selfishness. Old age is approached from the perspective of the «cattiva» daughter.
Originally published in 1990, the novel won the Giovanni Comisso Prize for Fiction. The author, Carla Cerati, lived between 1926 and 2016.
Recommended to readers interested in mother-daughter relationships, female bonds and the experience of ageing.
Carla Cerati was an Italian photographer and writer. She began her career focusing on social and cultural issues through her lens.

She also worked as a fashion photographer and collaborated with various publications throughout her career. Cerati died in 2020, leaving a compelling and thought-provoking photography legacy.
