Reeds in the Wind by Grazia Deledda

3.0

This was quite an enjoyable read, although I expected much more. The characters are vague, there's a considerable lack of description when it comes to them. The nature on the other hand is given in details, like a character on its own. I pitted the Pintor sisters as they were victims of other people's faults just as much as their own or even more. As children they were taught to stay inside like porcelain dolls and hold on to a useless title that gave them nothing but imaginary goodness. The death of one of ladies was written so simple but yet so real and the marriage of the other gave me a little bit of hope that these women will finally see a better side of life.
