About this listen
"La storia di un grande amore e di un delitto": così l'autrice stessa definì Dalla parte di lei. Narratrice e protagonista è Alessandra Corteggiani che in questo lungo memoriale rievoca le proprie vicende familiari e personali per raccontare - rigorosamente Dalla parte di lei - la storia italiana degli anni a cavallo tra fascismo, resistenza e ricostruzione.
Spicca in particolare il personaggio della madre, suicida per amore, di cui la figlia rifiuta di ripetere il destino. Mandata dal padre presso i parenti in un remoto paesino dell'Abruzzo con la speranza che faccia suo il dovere della sottomissione, Alessandra cresce invece sempre più consapevole della "questione femminile" e determinata a ottenere per le donne lo stesso rispetto tributato abitualmente agli uomini. L'evento cruciale nella sua vita è l'innamoramento per Francesco, professore antifascista, che sposerà; ma il loro amore è destinato a una fine tragica...
Sullo sfondo della guerra e della lotta partigiana, Alba de Céspedes compone un romanzo stupefacente per la varietà delle situazioni, l'esattezza dei ritratti, la ricchezza dei toni. Un sofisticato gioco di specchi dal quale emerge la presa di coscienza di una donna che, in un mondo sempre più dominato dagli uomini, riesce a trasformare la rassegnazione in ribellione.

Grande appassionato di gialli, Marzio Montecristo ha aperto da qualche anno nel centro di Cagliari una piccola libreria specializzata in romanzi polizieschi. Il nome della libreria, Les Chats Noirs, è un omaggio ai due gatti neri che un giorno si sono presentati in negozio e non se ne sono più andati, da lui soprannominati Miss Marple e Poirot. Nonostante il brutto carattere del proprietario, la libreria è molto frequentata, ed è Patricia, la giovane collaboratrice di Montecristo, di origini eritree, a salvare i clienti dalle sfuriate del titolare.

Si chiamano Vinca, Valentina, Augusta, Silvia, Xenia, Anna, Milly, Emanuela. Otto ragazze attorno ai vent'anni che si ritrovano tutte al collegio Grimaldi di Roma, tra l'autunno del 1934 e l'estate del 1936. Diverse per origine geografica e familiare, si affacciano alla vita adulta con attese differenti - l'amore, l'emancipazione professionale e intellettuale, il ritorno alle origini, la partenza -, e chiuderanno il loro percorso con scelte altrettanto differenti.

"Ho fatto male a comperare questo quaderno, malissimo. Ma ormai è troppo tardi per rammaricarmene, il danno è fatto": con queste parole inizia il suo diario Valeria Cossati, la protagonista di questo romanzo, una donna della classe media nell'Italia degli anni Cinquanta. Poco più di quarant'anni, due figli grandi, un marito disattento, un lavoro d'ufficio che svolge senza apparente passione, Valeria è assorbita dal ritmo "naturale" della quotidianità piccolo-borghese, schiacciata, senza quasi rendersene conto, tra i suoi ruoli di moglie, madre, impiegata.

When mystery author D. B. Ziegler is late delivering her book, Abi Schore steps in to help. Surely she can give her favorite author moral support over the holiday break and get the manuscript to her boss at Tea & Sympathy Publishing in time for the new year. When Abi shows up on Ms. Ziegler’s doorstep bearing holiday treats, she’s met by the author’s handsome grandson Dov, who reveals a startling plot twist. His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.
