«Manola» is the novel by Italian writer Margaret Mazzantini, published by Mondadori in paperback (249 pages, in Italian).
Ortensia, spectral and dressed in black, and Anemone, radiant and colourful, are two opposite twins: they represent introversion and extraversion, unhappiness and joy of living. They share a playful ability to confide in each other and confess their femininity. Mazzantini's prose reverses the roles and shows that both are two sides of the same moon.
The edition is part of Mondadori's Oscar Bestsellers collection and dates from 1999.
A read for those who enjoy contemporary fiction and Italian narrative, with a symbolic portrait of femininity.
