A Decent Family by Rosa Ventrella

5.0

At first, it was a comparison to Elena Ferrante that caught my attention. Then I discovered that A Decent Family is a beautifully written novel about Maria - the Malacarne (bad seed) and her coming-of-age story.

As soon as I started, I knew that this novel was for me, and I was immediately absorbed by beautiful writing. In an instance, I was in Bari, Italy beside Maria. Loved it!

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this! All opinions are my own.
