Marta Ajala, unjustly accused of adultery, is expelled from her home by her husband and ostracised by the society of a Sicilian village. Pirandello portrays loneliness, the rigidity of social conventions and human incommunicability, with a critical eye on male characters and a glimmer of solidarity among women.

For readers of Italian classics and narrative that explores female psychology and the rigidity of social conventions.
Luigi Pirandello was an Italian dramatist, novelist, poet, and short story writer most noted for his plays. He was awarded the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature "for his bold and ingenious revival of dramatic and scenic art". Pirandello's works include novels, hundreds of short stories, and about 40 plays, some of which are written in Sicilian. Pirandello's tragic farces are often seen as forerunners of the Theatre of the Absurd.
