Description
Sworn Virgin by Elvira Dones is a powerful exploration of identity and cultural disorientation. When Hana takes an oath to become a man, she assumes a new persona, Mark, in order to escape an arranged marriage and pursue her own path. This decision sets off a chain of challenges as she navigates her new life in the United States. As Hana struggles to shed her past, she must confront the complexities of her Albanian heritage and the expectations placed upon her. Her journey is marked by moments of tension and self-discovery, as she seeks to redefine herself and find freedom from the constraints of her virginity oath. Written in Italian, Sworn Virgin offers a unique perspective on the experiences of immigrant women and the multiple levels of transition they face. This is Elvira Dones's first novel to be translated into English, bringing her distinctive voice to a wider audience.
