    "In a rural New Jersey town, on the eve of WWII, young Marie Genovese looks out from her apartment window above the Five & Ten and wonders how she'll save the failing store she's inherited from her mother. Forced to bake for extra money, Marie dabbles in herbs, and hopes to change her fate. But when a herb-laced cake causes a wealthy local banker and Marie to fall in love, her troubles only compound-a family friend plots to take the store, her brother is involved in a fascist hate crime, and Marie becomes pregnant by her married lover. Enter the mysterious Aunt Ada from Italy, who brings a skill with herbs and knowledge of the family's Italian past. Soon Marie will face a choice: accept the protection of her wealthy lover, or defiantly break cultural norms by remaining independent. In a time similar to today, full of fear, economic uncertainty, and the controlling behavior of men, a powerful line of women, living and dead, helps Marie decide. ITALIAN LOVE CAKE is a story of a rare feminist awakening in 1939"--

    Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of Illustrations -- Introduction -- Tales -- Domenico Comparetti -- Collodi (Carlo Lorenzini) -- Yorick (Pietro Coccoluto Ferrigni) -- Luigi Capuana -- Gabriele D’Annunzio -- Grazia Deledda -- Emma Perodi -- Cordelia (Virginia Tedeschi Treves) -- Guido Gozzano -- Bibliography -- Biographical Notes A collection of magical Italian folk and fairy tales—most appearing here in English for the first timeThe Pomegranates and Other Modern Italian Fairy Tales presents twenty magical stories published between 1875 and 1914, following Italy’s political unification. In those decades of political and social change, folklorists collected fairy tales from many regions of the country while influential writers invented original narratives in standard Italian, drawing on traditional tales in local dialects, and translated others from France. This collection features a range of these entertaining jewels from such authors as Carlo Collodi, most celebrated for the novel Pinocchio, and Domenico Comparetti, regarded as the Italian Grimm, to Grazia Deledda, the only Italian woman to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature. With one exception, all of these tales are appearing in English for the first time.The stories in this volume are linked by themes of metamorphosis: a man turns into a lion, a dove, and an ant; a handsome youth emerges from a pig’s body; and three lovely women rise out of the rinds of pomegranates. There are also more introspective transformations: a self-absorbed princess learns about manners, a melancholy prince finds joy again, and a complacent young woman discovers gratitude. Cristina Mazzoni provides a comprehensive introduction that situates the tales in their cultural and historical context. The collection also includes period illustrations and biographical notes about the authors.Filled with adventures, supernatural and fantastic events, and brave and flawed protagonists, The Pomegranates and Other Modern Italian Fairy Tales will delight, surprise, and astonish
