- Synopsis
- Discover the astonishingly powerful debut novel by the beloved feminist author of the &“brilliant&” (The Wall Street Journal) Forbidden Notebook and the &“courageous&” (The Washington Post) Her Side of the Story that was so subversive, it was banned by the Italian Fascist regime when it was first published in 1938.A coming-of-age novel that is as relevant today as it was nearly ninety years ago, There&’s No Turning Back centers on eight women with radically different backgrounds who attend the same college in Rome. Some are there to study, others to escape a scandal, or keep a secret, and during their time there, they experience the challenges of love, work, and emancipation. Considered experimental and revolutionary at the time, this novel established Alba de Céspedes as a powerful new voice in the 20th century. Translated by Ann Goldstein, There&’s No Turning Back demonstrates why de Céspedes deserves &“an important place in the canon of women&’s literature&” (Chicago Review of Books).
