4.0 out of 5 stars
a matter of strength, 10 Mar 2003
By Randy Keehn - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: La Madre (Woman and the Priest) - European classics (Paperback)
This short novel is an interesting study in inner strength. We are introduced to a young priest and his mother. We discover from the beginning that the priest is having an affair with a young widow in town. He is challenged by his mother whose faith impresses us with its strength. The priest, in turn, seems weak in that area. As other events take place, we see a transformation in the priest who struggles and falls but forces himself to do the right thing. The mother, however, undergoes doubts and weakens in her resolve. In the climatic ending we are reminded that faith is constantly challenged and thus is in need of regular maintenance. As in all of Grazia Deladda's novels, the reader gets a sense of life in the distant world of rural Sardinia and an appreciation for the story-telling abilities of this Nobel Prize-winning author.
