Summary "Marianna: Romaani" by Grazia Deledda is a novel written in the early 20th century." The story revolves around Marianna Sirca, who inherits property from her wealthy uncle following his death. As she navigates her new life, she confronts her past and her feelings toward her former servant, Simone Sole, who has transformed from a subservient boy into a complex character with ambitions of his own. The novel explores themes of social status, personal identity, and the consequences of familial ties against the backdrop of Sardinian culture. "The opening of the novel introduces us to Marianna as she recuperates in a cattle farm in the midst of Sardinia's countryside, having taken time away from the stress caused by caring for her ailing uncle." In the lush setting, she begins to regain her strength but is still shadowed by her past and her unique upbringing, where obedience to her guardians has defined her existence. As Marianna reflects on her childhood, the narrative sets the stage for her encounter with Simone, signaling a shift in their dynamic. The opening establishes a rich emotional landscape filled with nostalgia, personal conflicts, and an anticipation of change, as she finds herself back in familiar territory, stirred by memories and new possibilities.
