Though she tells herself that she is a competent woman, nothing like the poverella (poor abandoned wife) that mothers whispered about in her childhood, Olga falls completely apart. Routine chores overwhelm her; she neglects her appearance and forgets her manners; she throws herself at the older musician downstairs; she sees the poverella's ghost. After months of self-pity, anger, doubt, fury, desperation and near madness, her acknowledgments of weaknesses in the marriage feel as earned as they are unsurprising. 650 0 $a Depressed persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Housewives $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Italy $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Goldstein, Ann, $d 1949- 941 $a 8 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230706014554.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722013757.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107033042.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180126063606.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150922030546.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20150404021004.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20130305010834.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F46AA0002B0911DE8AF32708A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
