Description

Love and duty collide in a delicate tapestry of early twentieth-century Italy. A passion-tested romance novella that probes the costs of social expectations. This edition of After The Divorce: A Romance (Part I) presents a concise, moving examination of love and betrayal set against a rigid society. The story unfolds with intimate precision, exploring marriage critique, gender roles, and the consequences of divorce through characters whose loyalties are tested by family duty and personal longing. It is at once a tender romance and a sharp social mirror, inviting both casual readers and classic-literature collectors to read closely, discuss deeply, and return to its pages again. Historically, the work stands as a keystone of Italian literature, offering insight into how culture and class shape intimate decisions in the early twentieth century. It carries the resonance of a bygone era while remaining startlingly relevant to discussions of love, obligation, and the limits placed on individual choice. For book clubs and literary students, it provides rich terrain for debate on modern love, tradition, and the fragility of trust. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
