A man and a woman, cast out from Italian society, abandon their eight-month-old daughter in the Villa Borghese and take drastic measures. In 2021, that child, author Maria Grazia Calandrone, embarks on a quest to uncover the truth of her past, exploring the places where her mother lived and endured.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour Little Matter is an intimate portrayal of a parent's life and demise, a startling glimpse into the real lives of marginalized women from the Italian South in the relatively recent past, and the revelation of a cause célèbre that sparked social change in Italy. Blending poetic and philosophical insight with forensic investigation, the book intertwines the personal and the public, the individual and the collective. It tells a devastating tale of how institutionalized callousness of state and society can lead to tragedy, and how the relentless pursuit of personal choice can lead to liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour Little Matter was shortlisted for the 2023 Premio Strega.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 320g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 197 x 131 x 27 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781738446322\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maria Grazia Calandrone","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46276171628794,"sku":"9781738446322","price":9.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/noimage_ed20b153-3237-42ef-ba4b-507860cf3d4b.png?v=1719221515","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/your-little-matter-9781738446322","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
